Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 8, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Hunt Join ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or use our platform at huntjoin.com. By continuing to use our services, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website or application when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, operate more efficiently, and provide reporting information to site owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, while session cookies are deleted when you close your browser window.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes, including:

  • Enabling core platform functionality and secure access to your account
  • Remembering your preferences and settings between visits
  • Understanding how users interact with our platform so we can improve it
  • Measuring the effectiveness of features and learning modules
  • Supporting authentication and session management
  • Preventing fraudulent activity and enhancing security

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They enable you to log in, navigate between pages, and use secure areas of the service. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided. These cookies do not require your consent.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our platform to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region settings, or display preferences. They provide a more personalised experience and reduce the need to re-enter information on each visit.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our platform, including which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter error messages. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous. We use this data solely to improve the performance and usability of our services.

3.4 Third-Party Cookies

Some features of our platform may be provided by third-party services, such as embedded video players, interactive tools, or analytics providers. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties directly.

4. Cookies We Do Not Use

We do not use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Behavioural advertising or cross-site tracking for commercial targeting
  • Selling your data or browsing behaviour to advertisers
  • Building profiles based on your activity outside our platform

5. Cookie Duration

The duration for which cookies remain on your device depends on their type:

  • Session cookies expire when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, typically ranging from 30 days to 24 months, depending on their function
  • Third-party cookies are governed by the respective third party's retention schedule

6. Managing and Controlling Cookies

6.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to:

  • Block all cookies
  • Accept only first-party cookies
  • Delete cookies when you close the browser
  • Notify you before a cookie is stored

Please consult your browser's help documentation for instructions on how to adjust these settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our platform and your ability to access some features.

6.2 Opt-Out Tools

Some third-party analytics and service providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms. Where applicable, we provide links or references to those opt-out options within our platform settings or privacy documentation.

7. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as:

  • Local storage and session storage: browser-based storage used to retain user preferences and session data
  • Pixel tags and web beacons: small image files used to track page visits and measure engagement within the platform
  • Device fingerprinting: used in limited circumstances for security and fraud prevention purposes only

These technologies serve equivalent purposes to cookies and are subject to the same controls described in this policy.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our services. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

Your continued use of our platform after any changes constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated policy.
