Cookie Policy

Effective Date: May 20, 2025 Last Updated: July 4, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage them on https://foundersarehiring.com (the “Site”). Cookies and similar tracking technologies help FoundersAreHiring (“FAH”, “we”, “us”) deliver a secure, fast, and personalized experience to our users.

FAH is a subscription-based software platform that provides AI-driven founder-to-talent matchmaking, candidate vetting, scheduling, and hiring analytics. We do not operate as a classifieds job board or payment intermediary.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help the site remember who you are, what settings you used, and how you interacted with the platform. Some cookies expire quickly (session cookies), while others persist for future visits (persistent cookies).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use only a few categories of cookies all listed below:

  • Essential Cookies

    • Example: fah_session_id (First-party)
    • Purpose: Authenticate logins and keep your session active
    • Lifetime: 7 days
    • Required: Yes

  • Performance & Analytics Cookies

    • Providers: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Cloudflare Analytics, Microsoft Clarity
    • Purpose: Help us understand how users engage with the platform (e.g., page views, errors, navigation flow)
    • Lifetime: Varies by provider (typically 1 to 7 days)
    • Required: No

We do not use retargeting ads, heatmaps, behavioral profiling, or third-party marketing integrations beyond the providers listed above.

We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve and market our products/services. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity. Additionally, we use this information for site optimization, fraud/security purposes, and advertising. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

3. Other Tracking Technologies

Aside from cookies, we may use:

  • Meta Pixel: Allows us to measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns (aggregated and anonymized).
  • Cloudflare Analytics: Used to improve platform speed and security without tracking individuals across websites.
  • Google Analytics: Tracks platform usage and trends to help us build better features.
  • Microsoft Clarity.: Tracks platform usage and trends to help us build better features.

All analytics data is aggregated. We do not use these tools to track individuals across the broader web.

We do not use cookie banners at this time. Essential cookies are required to use the platform and are set automatically. Performance cookies are optional and can be blocked via your browser settings.

If you're in a jurisdiction that requires explicit consent (like the EU), you may control cookie preferences through your browser or third-party extensions.
