This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides more detailed information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website or use our platform. We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and session storage. These technologies help us provide you with a better experience, maintain your session, understand how you use our workforce management services, and improve our platform functionality. Cookies can be either session cookies (temporary and deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain on your device for a set period).
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes: Authentication and Security (to verify your identity, maintain your login session, and protect against unauthorized access); Platform Functionality (to remember your preferences, settings, and choices to provide a personalized experience); Performance and Analytics (to analyze how users interact with our platform, identify areas for improvement, and optimize performance); Workforce Management Features (to maintain session state for time tracking, remember geofencing preferences, store scheduling preferences, and maintain user authentication across different parts of the platform); Communication and Marketing (to deliver relevant content and communications, subject to your preferences); and Third-Party Integrations (to enable integration with third-party services you choose to use).
Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the platform to function properly and cannot be disabled. They include authentication cookies, security cookies, and cookies that maintain your session state. Performance Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our platform by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They help us improve the platform's performance and user experience. Functional Cookies: These enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences, language settings, and customizations. Analytics Cookies: These help us analyze platform usage patterns, track performance metrics, and understand user behavior to improve our services. Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These may be used to deliver relevant content and advertisements, though we do not use them for behavioral advertising without your consent.
For our workforce management features, we use specialized cookies to: Maintain session state for time tracking and attendance monitoring; Remember geofencing preferences and location-based settings; Store scheduling preferences and workflow configurations; Maintain user authentication across different platform modules; Cache frequently accessed data to improve performance; Remember user interface preferences and customizations; Store temporary data for workflow automation processes; and Maintain security tokens for API access and third-party integrations.
