Cookie Policy
Last updated: 20 July 2026
This document is a template prepared for LocumHire and is pending review by a qualified solicitor. It reflects how the platform operates but should not be relied on as legal advice.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser so it can recognise you between pages and visits. UK law (PECR) requires consent for cookies unless they are strictly necessary for a service you have asked for.
2. The cookies we use
LocumHire only sets strictly necessary cookies — the authentication cookies that keep you signed in and protect your session (a session token and a security/CSRF token). They are set when you sign in, are essential to using your account, and are not used to track you.
We set no advertising cookies, no social media cookies, and no third-party tracking cookies of any kind.
3. Analytics without cookies
We measure aggregate site usage with a cookieless analytics service (Vercel Analytics). It sets no cookies, stores no identifier in your browser, and does not follow you across other websites — we only see anonymous, aggregated statistics such as page views.
4. Local storage
If you switch between light and dark mode, your preference is saved in your browser's local storage. It stays on your device and is not sent to us.
5. Why we do not show a cookie banner
Because the only cookies we set are strictly necessary for signing in, consent is not required and we do not show a cookie banner. If we ever introduce cookies that require consent, we will ask for it first and update this policy.
6. Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking the strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in to your account.
