Cookie Policy
The essential and optional browser storage used by HireWiz.
Effective: 11 July 2026 · Last updated: 11 July 2026 · Version 2026-07-11. HireWiz is operated by SAVALIYA HARSHIL YOGESHBHAI, trading as HireWiz. Questions: work@hirewizhq.com.
1. What this Policy covers
Cookies are small browser files. Local storage is a similar browser mechanism that can retain a value on your device. The table below describes storage that the current HireWiz frontend can use. Actual names may use a secure prefix when the website is served over HTTPS.
2. Current inventory

3. Essential storage
Authentication, security, and consent-preference storage is necessary to sign in, protect requests, and remember your choice. Blocking or deleting it can sign you out or prevent account features from working. Backend access tokens are retained in the server-managed encrypted session and are not exposed to browser JavaScript or stored in browser local storage.
4. Optional analytics
Google Analytics and PostHog load only when their keys are configured and you select “Accept analytics.” They are not loaded merely because you visit the site. Analytics measures aggregate acquisition and product use and is not used by HireWiz for targeted advertising. Choosing “Essential only” leaves analytics disabled.
5. Authentication and checkout providers
If you choose Google sign-in or open a hosted payment checkout, that provider may set cookies on its own domain for authentication, fraud prevention, payment, and security. Those cookies are controlled by the provider and described in its privacy or cookie notice. The active payment provider is shown at checkout only after it has been approved and enabled.
6. Change or withdraw your choice
You can reopen Cookie Preferences at any time. Withdrawing analytics consent prevents future analytics loading and removes accessible HireWiz-domain Google Analytics and PostHog storage. You can also clear site data in your browser; provider-domain cookies may need to be managed through that provider or your browser settings.
7. Updates and contact
We will update this inventory when storage practices materially change. For questions, email work@hirewizhq.com or see the Privacy Policy.
