At FreelanceHub, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to any FreelanceHub product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference. We use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, local storage and mobile ad IDs (collectively referred to in this policy as “cookies”) to collect and use data as part of our Services, as defined in our Privacy Policy (“Services”).
What technologies are used?
Cookies
A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables FreelanceHub features and functionality. Any browser visiting our sites may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-FreelanceHub sites that display ads. We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie lasts beyond the current session and is used for many purposes, such as recognizing you as an existing user, so it's easier to return to FreelanceHub and interact with our Services without signing in again. Session cookies last only as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).
Pixels
A pixel is a tiny image that may be embedded within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with Notifications, Messages or Ads. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.
Local storage
Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the FreelanceHub experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up site functionality.
Other similar technologies
We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy

Personalised advertising
Cookies help us show you relevant advertising, both on and off our Services and measure the performance of such ads and report on it. We use cookies to learn whether content has been shown to you or whether someone who was presented with an ad later came back and took an action (e.g., downloaded a white paper or made a purchase) on another site. Similarly, our partners or service providers may use cookies to determine whether we've shown an ad or a post and how it performed or provide us with information about how you interact with ads or specific content. We may also work with our customers and partners to show you an ad on or off FreelanceHub, such as after you've visited a customer's or partner's site or application.
Analytics and research
Cookies help us learn more about how well our Services perform. We or our service providers use cookies to understand, improve, and research products, features and services, including as you navigate through our site or when you access FreelanceHub from other sites, applications or devices. We or our service providers, use cookies to determine and measure the performance of ads or posts on and off FreelanceHub and to learn whether you have interacted with our or our customers' websites, content or emails and provide analytics based on those interactions. We also use cookies to provide aggregated information to our customers and partners as part of our Services. If you are a FreelanceHub member but logged out of your account on a browser, FreelanceHub may still continue to log your interaction with our Services on that browser for up to 30 days in order to generate usage analytics for our Services. We may share these analytics in aggregate form with our customers.
