We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve the LocumSTAFF Platform. The specific purposes include:

Essential cookies: Required for the Platform to function, including authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, the Platform cannot operate properly.

Preferences cookies: Remember your settings and choices, such as language preferences and display options, to provide a personalised experience.

Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform, which pages are visited, and how we can improve the user experience.

Security cookies: Detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect user accounts, and maintain Platform integrity.

Session cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They enable core functionality during your visit.

Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They remember your preferences across sessions.

First-party cookies: Set by LocumSTAFF directly.

Third-party cookies: Set by our service providers, such as analytics and security partners, subject to their own privacy policies.

Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to operate and cannot be disabled. These include:

Authentication and session cookies that maintain your login state and secure access to the business portal.

Security cookies that protect against unauthorised access and detect suspicious activity.

Load-balancing cookies that ensure reliable Platform performance.

These cookies do not store personal information beyond what is necessary for their function.

We use analytics cookies to understand Platform usage, identify issues, and improve features. These may collect aggregated, anonymised data about user interactions.

Where required by law (including POPIA), we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential analytics or tracking cookies.

The Platform may use third-party services that set their own cookies, including:

Cloud hosting and content delivery services for reliable Platform delivery.

Analytics providers to understand usage patterns.

Security services to detect and prevent abuse.

We do not control third-party cookies. Please review the privacy and cookie policies of these providers for more information.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent the Platform from functioning correctly, and you may be unable to log in or access certain features.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices.

Material changes will be communicated via the Platform or email. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
