What we use cookies for, exactly which ones we set, and how to change your mind at any time.

1. About cookies

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device so it can recognise you and remember what you've done. Some are essential — Hirely can't keep you signed in or process payments without them. Others are optional and only fire after you give consent.

We use the bare minimum needed to run the platform, plus a small set of analytics cookies that only load if you've said yes via the cookie banner.

3. Your choices

You can change your cookie choices at any time — the preferences are remembered for 12 months. To update them now, open the preferences panel:

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser's settings. Blocking essential cookies may make parts of Hirely stop working (e.g. you may not be able to sign in or complete payment).
