WHAT ARE
COOKIES?
Cookies are
small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you
visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their
websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting
information.
Cookies set
by the website owner (in this case, Hirbox.com) are called “first party
cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called
“third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party
features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like
advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party
cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question
and also when it visits certain other websites.
WHY DO WE
USE COOKIES?
We use
first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required
for technical reasons for our websites to operate, and we refer to these as
“essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies
also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the
experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our
websites for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in
more detail below.

WHAT ABOUT
OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES, LIKE WEB BEACONS?
Cookies are
not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other,
similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called
“tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics
files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone
has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This
allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page
within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to
understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement
displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure
the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these
technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining
cookies will impair their functioning.
DO YOU USE FLASH COOKIES OR LOCAL SHARED OBJECTS?
Our websites
may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared
Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store
information about your use of our services, fraud prevention and for other site
operations.
If you do
not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of
your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in
the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going
to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may
include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash
Cookies (referred to “information” on the Macromedia site), how to
prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked,
and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not
being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note
that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies
may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including,
potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online
content.
DO YOU SERVE TARGETED ADVERTISING?
Third
parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve
advertising through our websites. These companies may use information about
your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements about
goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ
technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This
can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information
about your visits to this and other sites to provide relevant advertisements
about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information
collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your
name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you
choose to provide these.
HOW CAN I CONTROL COOKIES?
You have
the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your
cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the
cookie table above.
You can set
or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose
to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some
functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As how you can refuse
cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should
visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted
advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit
