Cookies Policy

Effective Date: May 28, 2025
Last Updated: October 1, 2025

1. Overview

This Cookies Policy explains how Top10HRVoices.com and its subsites (e.g., cyprus.top10hrvoices.com) use cookies and similar technologies. We currently operate an essential-only setup: no analytics, no marketing pixels, no cross-site tracking, and we never sell your data.

By using the Site, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

2. What Are Cookies & Similar Technologies?

“Cookies” are small files stored by your browser. We may also use sessionStorage/localStorage (browser storage) for strictly necessary user-experience preferences, for example to remember that you dismissed our consent banner.

3. What We Use Today (Essential-Only)

We use only technologies required for core functionality and security:

a) Consent/UI preference — e.g., a session flag (sessionStorage: cookieConsentGiven) so the banner doesn’t reappear during the same session.
b) Hosting/security basics — standard server logs and protective controls used by our infrastructure to keep the Site reliable and secure.
c) Form/UX reliability (if present) — essential mechanisms that prevent duplicate submissions or broken flows.

We do not deploy analytics (e.g., GA), advertising pixels (e.g., Meta/LinkedIn), or profiling cookies.

4. Legal Basis (GDPR / ePrivacy)

Strictly necessary cookies/technologies are permitted without prior opt-in consent. If in future we introduce non-essential tools (analytics, advertising, personalization), we will implement a fully compliant consent mechanism and load such tools only after explicit opt-in.

5. Managing Preferences

Because we run essential-only, there is nothing to disable for tracking. You can always clear your browser cache/cookies. If we later add optional categories, we will provide a visible control to accept, reject, or withdraw consent at any time.

6. Processors & International Transfers

We work with vetted service providers under GDPR-compliant terms (e.g., hosting via Carrd, email via Zoho, consent tooling if activated). We endeavor to keep processing in the EEA; where transfers outside the EEA are necessary, appropriate safeguards (e.g., SCCs or adequacy decisions) will apply.
See our Privacy Policy for details.

7. Retention

Essential banner preferences (e.g., sessionStorage) last for your current browser session. Server logs/security records are retained only as long as needed for operations and legal obligations. Editorial archive retention is governed by our Terms & Conditions.

8. Your Rights
