Cookie Policy

This policy explains how HGV Driver Jobs uses cookies and similar storage. The short version: we use only the essential cookies needed to run the site and keep you logged in. We do not track you, and we do not use advertising or analytics cookies. For how we handle your data more broadly, see our privacy policy.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. Cookies let a site remember things between pages and visits, such as whether you are signed in. Some sites also use related technologies, like your browser's local storage, which works in a similar way. "First-party" cookies are set by the site you are visiting; "third-party" cookies are set by another company. We do not use any third-party cookies.

The cookies we use

We use only strictly essential first-party cookies. These are needed for the site to work and to keep it secure, so they cannot be switched off through a consent banner. We do not need your consent for essential cookies, but we do tell you about them here.

Name	Type	Purpose	Expiry
`hgvsess`	Essential cookie	Keeps you logged in and holds your session while you use the site.	When your session ends or you sign out.
CSRF token	Essential cookie	Protects forms against cross-site request forgery, so requests genuinely come from you.	When your session ends.
Cookie-consent flag	Local storage (not a cookie)	Remembers that you have seen and acknowledged our cookie notice, so we do not show it again.	Stays until you clear your browser storage.

What we do not use

No advertising cookies.
No analytics or tracking cookies, and no Google Analytics.
No third-party cookies of any kind.
No social media or fingerprinting trackers.

Our fonts are self-hosted, so loading the site does not call out to a third-party font network either.

How to control cookies

Because we only use essential cookies, there is nothing here to opt out of for advertising or tracking. If you would still like to manage or delete cookies and site storage, you can do so in your browser settings:

Chrome — Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data.
Safari — Preferences, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data.
Firefox — Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
Edge — Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.

Please note that if you block or delete our essential cookies, parts of the site, such as signing in, will not work properly.

Changes to this policy

If we ever change how we use cookies, we will update this page and change the "last updated" date at the top.
