Cookie Policy
Last updated: 26 March 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how NestHire, a trading name of Archline Technologies ("NestHire," "we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies (including browser local storage) when you visit or use our platform at nesthire.io.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Notice.
2. What Are Cookies & Local Storage
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Local storage is a similar browser technology that allows websites to store data on your device. Both are used to remember preferences, maintain sessions, and improve your experience.
3. Technologies We Use
3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary)
These are required for the Service to function. Without them, you would not be able to log in or use core features. They cannot be disabled.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cvai_access_token | Local Storage | Stores your authentication token so you remain logged in | 24 hours (token expiry) |
nesthire_cookie_consent | Local Storage | Remembers your cookie preference so the consent banner is not shown again | Persistent |
3.2 Functional
These remember your choices and preferences to provide a better user experience. They are set only when you interact with specific features.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
nesthire_columns_* | Local Storage | Saves your preferred column layout in candidate tables | Persistent |
nesthire_onboarded | Local Storage | Tracks whether you have completed the onboarding wizard | Persistent |
3.3 Analytics
We do not currently use analytics cookies or third-party tracking technologies. If we introduce analytics in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent before setting any analytics cookies.
4. Third-Party Technologies
When you make a payment through our billing provider (Paddle), Paddle may set its own cookies to process the transaction and prevent fraud. These cookies are governed by Paddle's Privacy Policy.
NestHire does not control third-party cookies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of third-party providers for details about their cookie practices.
5. Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept all technologies or limit them to essentials only.
You can also manage cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete stored cookies and local storage data
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
- Set preferences for specific websites
Please note that blocking essential cookies/local storage will prevent you from logging into the Service and may significantly impair functionality.
To reset your cookie consent preference, clear the nesthire_cookie_consent entry from your browser's local storage for nesthire.io.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If we add new categories of cookies (such as analytics), we will update this page and may request renewed consent through the cookie banner. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.
