1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how EmployForm (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit employform.com or any of our related platforms and applications (collectively, the “Site”).
By continuing to use our Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where your consent is required by applicable law, we will ask for it before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we handle your personal data more broadly.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as:
- Web Beacons / Pixels: Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track activity and measure the effectiveness of communications.
- Local Storage: Browser storage used to save data locally on your device between sessions.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but cleared when your browser session ends.
- SDKs (Software Development Kits): Used within our mobile applications to collect data in a manner similar to cookies.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies we use as follows:

Collects anonymised data on how visitors use our Site — pages visited, navigation paths. Helps us improve site performance. Uses Google Analytics.
Tracks browsing activity to deliver ads relevant to your interests. Set by us or advertising partners. Opt-out means less tailored (not fewer) ads.

7. Consequences of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable certain cookies, some features of the Site may not function as intended:
- Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from logging in or using core Site features.
- Disabling functional cookies means we won’t be able to remember your preferences across sessions.
- Disabling analytics cookies means we will have less information to improve the Site experience.
- Disabling marketing cookies means you may still see ads, but they will not be tailored to your interests.
8. Data Transfers
Some third parties that place cookies on our Site may transfer data outside of your country or region, including to the United States. Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection law, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
9. Cookie Retention
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a “session” or “persistent” cookie:
- Session cookies are temporary and deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (as shown in the Cookie Inventory above) or until manually deleted.
We do not retain cookie-derived data for longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
