Cookie Policy and Consent Notice

1. Introduction

Evolution Workforce Inc., a New York corporation (“Evolution Workforce,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website to provide, protect, and improve our services. This Cookie Policy and Consent Notice describes the categories of cookies we use, why we use them, what data they involve and share, and how you can manage your preferences. It also explains how our cookie consent banner works and how we comply with applicable privacy laws. Please read this notice alongside our Privacy Policy for a full understanding of how we handle personal data. By using our site, you acknowledge the practices described herein.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies and tracking technologies on our site into the following categories:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. For example, we may set a session cookie to keep you logged in or remember items in a form. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and are generally first-party cookies set by Evolution Workforce. You cannot disable strictly necessary cookies via the consent banner because the site cannot operate without them.

• Functional Cookies: These cookies allow enhanced functionality and personalization on our site. They remember choices you make (such as language or region preferences) and enable features to improve your experience. For instance, if we offer a live chat via HubSpot or remember your preference not to see a notification again, a functional cookie may be used. While not essential to basic site operation, functional cookies make your visits more convenient. You can choose to enable or disable these cookies in the cookie settings.

• Analytics/Performance Cookies: We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website and to help us improve its performance. These cookies collect information about pages visited, time spent on the site, and any error messages encountered. The data is aggregated and not used to identify you personally. For example, we use Google Analytics and HubSpot cookies to gather web traffic statistics and track user interactions. These cookies help us analyze trends and improve site functionality and content. They are not strictly necessary and will only be set or activated with your consent (where required by law or by our internal standards).

• Advertising/Targeting Cookies: Advertising cookies (also known as targeting or marketing cookies) are used to personalize advertising and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. They record your visit to our site, the pages you viewed, and the links you followed, and may track your browsing across other sites. Evolution Workforce uses tools like the Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram) and similar advertising trackers to help deliver relevant ads to you on external platforms and to reach others with interests similar to yours. These cookies may be set by third-party advertising partners and can provide them with information about your device and browsing behavior. Advertising cookies are non-essential and are only used with your consent or unless and until you opt out, as applicable. If you disable these cookies, you will still see ads, but they may be less relevant to you.

Note: In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies (such as web beacons, pixels, or local storage) that function similarly. For simplicity, this policy refers to all these technologies as “cookies.” Some cookies are first-party cookies (set by Evolution Workforce’s own domain) and others are third-party cookies (set by our service providers or partners). We have structured our use of these cookies so that each falls into one of the categories above.

3. Purposes and Data Collected by Cookies

Each category of cookie serves specific purposes and may involve different data handling and sharing with third parties:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies (Purpose & Data): The purpose of necessary cookies is to enable you to navigate our site and use basic features securely. For example, they may authenticate your session, balance website traffic load, or remember cookie consent choices. These cookies typically collect and store a minimal amount of data – usually a random session identifier or a preference setting – and do not personally identify you. Data from strictly necessary cookies is generally not shared with any third party, except with our service providers to the extent needed to operate the website (for instance, our hosting or security providers may process such data to maintain site stability and security). Any such service providers are bound by contractual privacy obligations. We do not use necessary cookies for analytics or advertising purposes.

• Functional Cookies (Purpose & Data): Functional cookies help us provide you with a more personalized experience. The purpose is to remember user choices (e.g. your region or other preferences) and to enable optional features such as chat support or embedded content. The data collected can include preferences you’ve set on the site or information you’ve entered that you want the site to remember (like your username or a UI customization). If we use a third-party tool to provide functionality (for example, a HubSpot live chat widget or a social media plug-in), that provider may set its own cookie to facilitate the feature. In such cases, some data (like technical identifiers or your interactions with the feature) may be shared with that third-party provider to ensure the feature works properly. This data sharing is limited to the functional purpose, and the third parties are not permitted to use the information for other purposes except as described in their own policies. We ensure any such providers are under agreements to process data on our behalf or in line with our instructions. If you disable functional cookies, certain site features (for example, live chat support or preference settings) may become unavailable or may not remember your custom settings.

• Analytics/Performance Cookies (Purpose & Data): The purpose of analytics cookies is to collect information on how visitors use our site so we can improve performance and user experience. Through these cookies, we gather usage data such as which pages are most visited, how users navigate between pages, what browsers or devices are used, and any errors encountered. This data helps us identify trends and troubleshoot problems. We primarily utilize third-party analytics services – specifically Google Analytics and HubSpot Analytics – for these purposes. For example, Google Analytics may collect data like your IP address (which can provide a general geolocation), browser type, and referring URLs, as well as information on your interactions with our site (page views, clicks, time spent). HubSpot’s analytics cookies can similarly track your page visits and may associate these with an individual profile if you later voluntarily provide personal information (for instance, by submitting a contact form on our site). The information collected via analytics cookies is typically aggregated and anonymized before analysis; we look at trends among many users, not at individual behavior. However, analytics providers do process the raw data on our behalf, and in doing so some data is technically “shared” with them as our service providers. We treat these providers as data processors handling data only for our analytics purposes. We do not allow Google or other analytics providers to use this data for their own advertising or to share it further, beyond what is necessary to provide us the analytics services. (For example, Google Analytics may use the data to generate reports and improve its own services, but it does not identify you personally to us.) Any data sharing with these analytics providers is governed by our agreements with them and by their privacy policies. It’s important to note that analytics cookies do not typically collect information like your name, email, or other directly identifying data – unless you have actively identified yourself through an interaction (e.g. logging in or filling out a form, in which case, for instance, HubSpot could link your site activity to your contact profile in our CRM). We use the insights from analytics cookies purely to enhance our website’s content, performance, and usability. If you choose to disable analytics cookies, your site usage will not be tracked in this way, and we will lose that data, but you will still be able to use the website generally.

• Advertising/Targeting Cookies (Purpose & Data): Advertising cookies are used to deliver tailored marketing content and measure the reach and effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. The purpose is to help Evolution Workforce understand what services you may be interested in and to reach you (and audiences like you) with relevant ads on third-party platforms. For example, the Meta Pixel we use connects information about your visit on our site with Meta’s advertising network (Facebook/Instagram). This means that data such as your IP address, browser and device identifiers, and your actions on our site (for instance, visiting a particular page or clicking a certain button) may be collected via these cookies and sent to the third-party advertising platform. Similarly, if we use other advertising partners or tracking pixels (such as LinkedIn Insights or Google Ads), those would collect comparable information. The data shared typically includes online identifiers (like cookie IDs or device IDs), website usage information, and technical headers (which include your IP, browser type, operating system, and referring URL). We do not share information like your name or contact details with these advertising cookies; however, the third party (e.g., Meta) may be able to link the cookie and site usage data with your user profile on their platform if you have one, thereby helping them target ads to you and analyze results. In other words, if you have a Facebook account, Meta can recognize you via the Pixel data and may use it to show our ads or measure your response to ads. The advertising partners also provide us with aggregate reports about ad performance (for example, how many people saw or clicked an ad after visiting our site).

Data Sharing: By using these advertising cookies, certain information from your device is shared with the third-party advertising provider (like Meta or others) for the purpose of retargeting or audience analytics. This sharing is based on pseudonymous identifiers (we do not receive personal identities from them, just aggregated insights). We contractually require any such advertising partners to use the data only for our advertising and measurement purposes and not for their independent use beyond providing services to us, except insofar as they may use it to improve their own ad services and algorithms. You have the choice to disable these advertising cookies at any time. If you opt out or do not consent to them, we will not set (or will deactivate) the Meta Pixel and similar trackers on your browser, meaning your visit will not be used for our targeted advertising. You will still see general ads on those platforms, but not based on data from our site. Additionally, we do not use advertising cookies to track you across unrelated websites other than through the advertising networks’ normal operations (for example, Meta may track you across sites that also use the Meta Pixel, according to its own policies). Any personal data collected via targeting cookies is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

In all cases, any personal data collected via cookies and similar technologies is used in line with our Privacy Policy. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers or financial account info. We also do not knowingly allow third parties to collect personal data from our site via cookies beyond what is described in this policy. Evolution Workforce does not sell any personal information for money. However, some data practices involving cookies (particularly advertising cookies) may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under certain privacy laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as explained in the compliance section below. We only use and share cookie-related data for the purposes and with the parties described, and always in compliance with applicable laws and your choices.

4. User Opt-Out Instructions

Your Choices: You have the right to control or limit how cookies and similar technologies are used on our site. We want to make it easy for you to manage your preferences. Below are ways you can opt out of or adjust cookie tracking on our website:

• Cookie Consent Banner/Preferences on Our Site: When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner. This banner lets you accept or refuse non-essential cookies. You can choose “Accept All” to consent to all categories of cookies, or use a “Reject All” or “Manage Preferences” option to refuse or selectively allow certain categories (for example, you might allow analytics but not advertising cookies). If you have already made a choice but wish to change it, you can revisit the cookie settings at any time. Simply look for a link or button on our site labeled “Cookie Preferences,” “Cookie Settings,” or something similar (typically available in the website footer or in this policy). Clicking that will reopen the consent interface, where you can modify your selections. Any changes you make will be implemented immediately (for example, if you disable advertising cookies after previously allowing them, our site will stop using those and the third party will be instructed to stop tracking). Please note that if you opt out of certain cookie categories, some features of the site may not function fully. For instance, disabling functional cookies might turn off live chat, or disabling analytics means we won’t have data to personalize the site for you. However, the site will remain usable.

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers provide settings that let you control cookies broadly. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being placed on your device. You can also delete cookies that have already been set. For example, in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge you can find these options under the privacy or security settings (often in the “Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and site data” section); in Safari, under “Preferences > Privacy”; and in Firefox, under “Options > Privacy & Security.” By adjusting these settings, you can block third-party cookies (which prevents cookies from parties other than the site you’re visiting), or even block all cookies (though blocking all cookies may break some website functionality). Be aware: If you block cookies at the browser level, our website’s cookie banner may not be able to set your opt-out preferences (because the very cookies used to remember your choices might be blocked). The most effective approach is to both set your preferences on our site (via the banner) and adjust your browser settings to your comfort level. If you delete all cookies, that will also remove the cookies that remember your preferences – meaning you may need to re-select your choices when you visit the site again.

• Global Privacy Control (GPC): Global Privacy Control is a browser-based signal that communicates a user’s privacy preference to websites – specifically, a request not to sell or share personal information. Evolution Workforce honors GPC signals as an opt-out instruction for cookies. If your browser or browser extension is configured with GPC enabled, when you visit our site we will automatically treat it as if you have opted out of any cookies that would involve selling or sharing your data. In practice, that means we will not set (or will disable) advertising and social media tracking cookies (and similar technologies) by default for that browser, without you needing to click anything. GPC is a legally recognized mechanism under certain U.S. laws (for example, the CPRA in California) that we abide by. To use this feature, check if your browser supports Global Privacy Control or consider installing a browser extension that enables it. Once turned on, simply browsing with GPC enabled will send the opt-out signal in the background. We encourage privacy-conscious users, especially those in California, to utilize GPC if they want a universal opt-out solution. (Note: “Do Not Track” (DNT) is an older browser privacy signal that most sites, including ours, do not respond to because it was not standardized legally. GPC, however, is an emerging standard that we do honor.)

• “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” Link: For visitors from California (and other states with similar laws), we provide a ‘Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information’ link on our website (in the footer and via the privacy policy). Clicking this link will direct you to a dedicated page where you can complete and submit a form to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data. After you submit the form, we will process your request and disable any cookies or tracking that constitute a sale or sharing of your information.

• Industry Opt-Out Tools: In addition to the above, there are broader industry tools to opt out of interest-based advertising. Organizations in the digital advertising industry offer centralized opt-out websites. For example, the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) provides the WebChoices tool (at aboutads.info/choices) which can opt your browser out of many participating companies’ targeted ads. Similarly, the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) provides an opt-out page (at networkadvertising.org/choices). These tools work by setting opt-out cookies in your browser for each participating company, indicating that you don’t want targeted ads from them. Keep in mind, these opt-outs are browser-specific (you would need to perform them on each browser on each device you use), and if you clear your cookies, it will remove the opt-out cookies so you may have to do it again. Additionally, for mobile devices, you can use your device settings to limit ad tracking (for example, enabling “Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS or “Opt out of Ads Personalization” on Android in the privacy settings). While these industry tools are outside of our website, we mention them to give you a comprehensive set of options to control the use of your data for advertising.

By using a combination of the above methods, you can effectively tailor the cookie and tracking experience to your comfort level. If you simply ignore the cookie consent banner on our site and continue to use the site without making a choice, we will assume your consent to non-essential cookies to the extent permitted by law (i.e. those cookies may run until you opt out). However, we strongly encourage you to actively make a choice on the banner so that your preferences are clear. Remember that your cookie preferences are specific to the device and browser you use. If you visit our site from a different computer or a different browser, you may need to set your preferences again. If you have any difficulty managing your cookie preferences, please contact us for assistance.

5. Cookie Notice Functionality

Contacting Us: If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding Our website employs a cookie consent banner and management tool to inform you about cookie use and to capture your preferences in a user-friendly way. Here’s how our cookie notice works:Privacy Policy or how Evolution Workforce handles your personal data, please contact us by any of the following methods:

• Initial Banner Display: When you first visit Evolution Workforce’s site (or if you return after a significant change to our cookie policy or after clearing your cookies), a banner will appear at the top or bottom of the page. This banner provides a brief summary that we use cookies and gives you clear options to proceed. We use an industry-standard Consent Management Platform (CMP) to power this banner, similar to tools used by many B2B software and HR service platforms. The banner will typically present you with choices such as “Accept All Cookies,” “Reject All,” and “Customize Settings” (sometimes shown as “Manage Cookies”). We design the banner to be conspicuous and easy to use, without disrupting your ability to access the site content. The banner will remain in place (or reappear periodically) until you make a selection. We do not hide or obscure the opt-out options – our approach follows best practices and regulatory guidance requiring equal prominence for “Accept” and “Decline” choices (avoiding any “dark patterns” that pressure you into consent). For example, if our banner offers an “Accept All” button, it will also offer a one-click “Reject All” button of equal prominence, to ensure you have a genuine, easy choice.

• Consent Preferences Center: If you click the “Customize” or “Manage Preferences” option on the banner, you will be taken to a preferences panel (either as a pop-up or an expanded section of the page) where you can see each category of cookies (as described above) and toggle them on or off according to your wishes (except Strictly Necessary cookies, which will usually be locked in the “On” position because they are always required). Each category has a brief description in the interface so you know what you are consenting to or opting out of. By default, for U.S. visitors, non-essential categories might be set to “On” (since U.S. law generally uses an opt-out model), but in all cases you have final control to confirm or change those settings. If you choose to disable an entire category, the consent tool will ensure that cookies in that category are not loaded or are promptly removed/blocked. If you enable a category, the tool will allow those cookies to be set.

• Immediate Effect of Choices: Our cookie consent system is designed so that your choices take effect immediately. If you accept all cookies, the site will proceed to set and activate all the cookies in the various categories (which may include loading third-party scripts for analytics or advertising). If you reject all non-essential cookies, the site will either not load those cookies at all or will disable their functionality. For example, if you opt out of analytics, our Google Analytics tracking code will not run (or will run in a restricted “no cookies” mode); if you opt out of advertising, the Meta Pixel will not send data. In some cases, the consent tool might initially load scripts in a dormant state and then fully activate or deactivate them based on your selection. We endeavor to ensure that no non-essential data is sent out from your browser until you have given consent, and that we halt any ongoing data collection if you opt out.

• Remembering Your Preferences: Once you make a choice on the banner or in the preferences center, our site will record your decision. We do this by storing a small cookie (or using a similar local storage mechanism) on your browser that notes your consent status for each category. This is itself a strictly necessary cookie – it’s needed so that we can remember not to ask you again on every page load and so we can honor your settings. For example, if you opted out of analytics, we set a cookie that tells us “do not load analytics for this user” on future visits. If that cookie were absent, we wouldn’t know your choice and the banner would reappear or the default settings would apply each time. We typically remember your preferences for a certain period (commonly 6 to 12 months) before asking you to confirm again, or sooner if there are significant changes in technology or law that warrant reconfirming consent. After that period, or if you clear your browser cookies, you may see the banner again to reconfirm your choices.

• Accessing or Changing Preferences Later: Even after you’ve made your initial choice, you remain in control. At any time, you can change your mind by accessing the cookie preferences center again (as noted in the user instructions above, via a link like “Cookie Settings” on our site). Our consent management tool allows you to adjust the toggles and will immediately implement your new choices just as it did on your first visit. We believe in giving you ongoing control – consent is not a one-time event, but something you can revisit at any time. There is no limit to how often you can change your settings. Also, if you use multiple devices or browsers, you’ll need to set preferences on each one, because preferences are device/browser specific (the banner will appear on each device or browser until you make a choice on that particular platform).

• (Banner behavior for international visitors: This section is not applicable, as our services are directed to U.S. users.)

• No Retaliation or Degraded Service: We do not treat users who decline cookies unfairly or deny them service. Other than the absence of certain cookie-dependent features, our site remains accessible and functional for those who opt out. We do not, for example, block content or force you to pay if you refuse cookies (practices that would be considered non-compliant and unethical). The purpose of our cookie banner is genuinely to give you a choice and to comply with legal obligations, not to nag or strong-arm you into acceptance. We ensure that the “Reject” (opt-out) option is as easy to execute as the “Accept” option, following the principle of symmetry of choice (one-click to accept, one-click to decline).

• Updates and Versions: Our cookie consent notice mechanism and this policy may be updated as our use of cookies evolves or as laws change. The banner will always reflect the current status of what cookies are in use on our site. If we add a new cookie category or start using a new third-party service that sets cookies, the consent tool’s interface and this policy will be updated to include it. In some cases, a change might prompt the banner to reappear for all users in order to capture consent for the new cookies. We recommend reviewing this Cookie Policy periodically, and the banner will ensure you’re informed of any major changes.

Overall, our cookie notice system is designed to be transparent, easy to use, and fully compliant with data protection requirements. It provides you with upfront notice of cookies and granular control over them. We have invested in a consent management tool that aligns with common market standards (similar to those used by many compliant websites) to ensure that your choices are respected across your browsing session and on return visits.

6. Compliance with U.S. Privacy Laws

We are committed to handling cookie data in compliance with all applicable U.S. privacy laws. As a U.S.-based business serving U.S. clients, we are not subject to international privacy laws such as the European Union’s GDPR or the UK Data Protection Act. Instead, we focus on U.S. federal and state privacy regulations, including California’s Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and similar laws in other states. We have implemented measures consistent with the core principles of these U.S. privacy laws to protect user data.

‍California CCPA/CPRA and State Laws: The CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act), as enhanced by the CPRA effective January 2023, regulates the collection, use, and sharing of personal information of California residents. Importantly, under the CPRA, sharing data for cross-context behavioral advertising (which is essentially what advertising cookies do across sites) is considered a form of personal information “sharing” (and potentially a “sale” if value is exchanged), which triggers the requirement to provide a right to opt out. Evolution Workforce complies with these requirements in the context of cookies. We do not monetize your data via cookies (there is no traditional “sale” of data for money). However, if our use of third-party advertising cookies could be interpreted as a “sale” or “share” of personal information (since those cookies send pseudonymous identifiers and browsing information to partners like Meta or Google), we treat it as such and honor your opt-out rights. Concretely, for California residents, our website provides a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option (as described earlier) which you can use to opt out of advertising cookies and any related data transfers. We have configured our cookie consent tool to accommodate California’s rules: if you indicate via the banner or the link that you opt out of sale/sharing, or if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, our site will promptly deactivate all cookies that involve sharing data with third parties for advertising purposes. This automatic honoring of GPC means we respect the user’s opt-out preference signal as mandated by regulations – you do not need to click anything if GPC is enabled; the opt-out is processed behind the scenes on your behalf. Additionally, our cookie management process adheres to the CPRA’s non-discrimination requirements – meaning we do not deny services or provide a different level of service to users who exercise their privacy rights (aside from the natural effect that certain cookie-dependent features will be disabled). In line with the CPRA’s “symmetry of choice” rules for cookie banners, we ensure that opting out is as easy as opting in, as noted in our banner description.

Beyond California, other U.S. states (such as Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Utah, and others) grant users the right to opt out of targeted advertising. By using one unified cookie preference system, we cover those rights in a uniform way. If you are a resident of one of these states, simply use the same “Do Not Sell/Share” link or toggle off the advertising cookies in our banner; that action will constitute an opt-out of targeted advertising as defined by your state law, and we will duly honor it. We also have processes to respond to any authorized agent requests for opt-outs made on a consumer’s behalf (per California law), although in practice for cookies it is typically simplest for the user to opt out directly via the provided mechanisms.

‍Data Sharing and Service Providers: Under the CCPA/CPRA, sharing personal information with a “service provider” for a business purpose (under a contract that prohibits the provider from retaining or using the data beyond that purpose) is not considered a sale. In our context, analytics providers like Google Analytics and HubSpot are treated as service providers – they process cookie data on our behalf and are contractually restricted from using the data for any purposes other than those we specify. (For instance, we have configured Google Analytics not to use the data for Google’s own advertising, and our agreement with HubSpot includes appropriate data protection terms.) This means those analytics cookies, while they do collect personal information such as device identifiers, are not deemed a sale of personal information under CCPA definitions. Regardless, we still allow users to opt out of analytics cookies based on their privacy preferences. For advertising partners like Meta, they do not fit the “service provider” role because they use the data for their own advertising business (even though it also benefits us). That’s why the use of the Meta Pixel is potentially considered “sharing” of personal information for cross-context advertising purposes. We have taken steps to ensure any such advertising partners are contractually bound to use data solely for the purposes we intend and not misuse it; however, from a compliance standpoint, we treat their cookie usage under the “opt-out of sale/sharing” framework.

‍Global Privacy Control Compliance: As noted above, we treat GPC signals as a valid opt-out request. This is explicitly required under California law (CPRA regulations) and strongly encouraged by other jurisdictions. We have tested our website’s interaction with GPC signals to ensure that if a browser sends the Sec-GPC: 1 header, our cookie tool will automatically set all the relevant opt-out preferences for that session (and ideally persist them). In essence, the site will behave as if you went into the preferences and toggled off all cookies that involve selling/sharing of personal information. We maintain this functionality to remain compliant and to respect user privacy choices expressed globally via GPC.

‍Other U.S. Laws: Besides state laws, we also follow the spirit of federal guidance, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)’s stance on transparency and fair practices. Currently, there is no U.S. federal law specifically dictating cookie consent, but unfair or deceptive practices in handling personal data could still attract regulatory scrutiny. We ensure that our cookie disclosures are truthful and not misleading. For example, if we say “we use cookies for X purpose,” we indeed use them only for that purpose. If our practices change, we will update this policy rather than quietly doing something inconsistent with it.

‍Children’s Privacy: Our site and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from such children. In the unlikely event that a child-oriented portion of our service did use cookies, we would comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and either refrain from using non-essential cookies or obtain verifiable parental consent as required. Generally, this scenario is not applicable to Evolution Workforce’s B2B platform, but we mention it as part of our compliance posture.

‍Cookie Policy Accessibility: Compliance also means making this policy accessible. We have written this notice in clear language to be understandable, and we offer to provide it in alternative formats if needed to accommodate disabilities (in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws). For instance, if you need this notice read aloud or provided in large print, or if you use a screen reader, our website is designed to be compatible and we will assist as needed upon request.

7. Alignment with Company Agreements

Our use of cookies and the data derived from them is also consistent with Evolution Workforce’s Master Services Agreement (MSA) and other client agreements. Those agreements often cover confidentiality, data usage, and compliance with laws. We ensure that any tracking on our corporate website does not violate those commitments. For example, if our MSA promises to protect client confidential information, note that the cookies on our marketing site do not access any client private databases or employee data; they are limited to website visitor analytics and marketing use. Any personal data gleaned from cookies (for instance, a client representative’s contact information if they fill out a form on our site) is handled as per our Privacy Policy and the terms of our agreements. In other words, nothing in this Cookie Policy contradicts or negates our obligations in our service contracts – this policy is a supplemental disclosure to be read in harmony with our broader privacy and data protection obligations.

8. Ongoing Compliance and Updates

Privacy and cookie regulations are continually evolving. We actively monitor legal developments (such as new state privacy laws or amendments to existing ones, and regulatory guidance like decisions from the California Privacy Protection Agency on cookie consent) to ensure our practices remain compliant. We will update our cookie consent banner functionality and this policy as needed to adhere to new requirements or best practices. For instance, if a future law requires a different phrasing or a new category (such as a specific “analytics opt-in” separate from advertising), we will implement that. Any significant changes to how we use cookies or to our compliance approach will be reflected in an updated “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy, and we may proactively bring the changes to your attention (for example, via the reappearance of the banner or a notice on our site).

In summary, Evolution Workforce’s cookie practices are designed to respect your privacy rights and comply with all relevant U.S. laws. For California and other U.S. users, we provide transparent opt-out mechanisms and honor signals like GPC to ensure no unauthorized “sale” or “sharing” of data occurs via cookies. We strive to make our consent process clear and fair for everyone. If you have any questions or concerns about our Cookie Policy or data practices, please refer to our Privacy Policy or contact us through the channels provided on our website. We value your trust and are committed to keeping your personal information safe and respecting your preferences.
