What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. When you revisit the site, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. This simple mechanism is fundamental to the modern web, enabling a more personalized and efficient user experience.

They serve many functions, from remembering that you are logged in, to understanding which pages are most popular, to storing your preferences like language or region. We can categorize cookies in a few ways:

  • First-party vs. Third-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting directly (lsoIved HCM). Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically by partners providing services like analytics or advertising.
  • Session vs. Persistent cookies: Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them, helping us recognize you as a returning visitor.

At lsoIved HCM, we use cookies to operate and improve our website, understand user interaction, and provide a secure, personalized experience. Our use of cookies is categorized to give you clear insight into their purpose.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-parties' cookies to report usage statistics of the service, deliver advertisements on and through the service, and so on. These are set by external websites that run content on the page you are viewing.

For example, when you visit a page with content embedded from, say, YouTube or with social sharing buttons from LinkedIn, these service providers may set their own cookies on your web browser. We do not control the use of these cookies and cannot access them due to the way cookies work, as cookies can only be accessed by the party who originally set them. You should check the third-party websites for more information about these cookies.

Key third parties we may work with include:

  • Google Analytics: For analyzing website traffic and performance. We recommend reviewing Google's Privacy & Terms.
  • LinkedIn: For social sharing and tracking the effectiveness of professional outreach campaigns.
  • Embedded Content Providers: Services like YouTube or Vimeo for video content, which may set cookies to track viewing statistics.

We carefully select our partners and service providers, but their privacy and cookie policies govern their use of data. We encourage you to read their policies to understand how your data is handled.
