Cookie Policy

Hudson Advisors L.P. and its global affiliates (collectively, “Hudson Advisors“, “we“, “our” and “us“) respect the privacy of all visitors to our Website. This is our policy on the use of cookies and other technologies on www.Hudson-Advisors.com (the “Website“).

I. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored in your web browser on your PC, telephone, tablet or other Internet-connected device (each a “Devicee“) that “remember” information about you and your visit(s) to a website or connection to web application. Certain cookies may also collect personal data about you from your Device.

Cookies can be “first party” which are cookies set by us, or “third-party” which are cookies that are placed on your Device by a third party when you visit our Website. Third-party cookies may be placed on your Device by a third party providing a service to us.

II. Why Do We Use Them?

Our Website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our Website. This helps us to provide you with a better experience when you visit our Website and assists us in making improvements. It enables the Website to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them when you come back to the Website or browse from one page to another.

III. The Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that are necessary for the operation of our Website. They include, for example, cookies that register the type and version of your browser. If you disable these cookies, then the Website will not function properly.

Functionality cookies: These are used to recognize you when you return to our Website. This enables us to personalize our content for you, including (where applicable) to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

Analytical/performance cookies: These allow us to recognize and count the visitors to our Website and to see how visitors use our Website. This information helps us to improve the way our Website works, for example, by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily. This information is gathered anonymously – it is not to enable us to identify visitors to our Website. We use these cookies to determine the kind of content and services our visitors value the most. We are required to obtain your prior consent to use these cookies on your Device.

This Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google“). Google Analytics cookies are set by us on the Website and will expire on your Device in accordance with the expiration periods set forth in Section IV of this policy. The information generated by the Google Analytics cookies about your use of the Website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google, which may include being stored on its servers in the United States.

If you are a job seeker searching, or applying, for a job vacancy within Hudson via the Website, you will be directed to an embedded website operated and managed by Oracle HCM (“Oracle”). Oracle uses its own cookies and deploys cookies on your Device for its own purposes when you engage with our job seeker application process via the Website. Hudson is not responsible for these cookies, nor does it have any access to them. The information generated by the cookies set by Oracle about your use of the Website will be transmitted to and stored by Oracle, which may include being stored on its servers in the United States.
