1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information between pages and between visits — such as your language preference or whether you are logged into an admin session. Cookies cannot execute code, carry viruses or access files on your device.
2. Cookies We Use
We use a small number of cookies, all of which have a specific functional purpose. We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural tracking or cross-site profiling.
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| admin_auth | Essential | Maintains your authenticated session when logged into the Optimal Staff admin panel. Without this cookie the admin panel cannot function. | 24 hours |
| lang_pref | Functional | Stores your selected language so you do not need to re-select it on each visit. | 30 days |
| __vercel_* | Essential | Set by Vercel, our hosting infrastructure provider. Required for routing and performance — cannot be disabled without breaking the site. | Session |
| _analytics | Analytics | Anonymised usage data — pages visited, session duration, referral source. No personal data is collected or shared. Used solely to understand site performance. | 12 months |
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the site to work. The admin_auth cookie maintains the session for authorised admin users. The __vercel_* cookies are set automatically by our hosting infrastructure and handle request routing. Neither can be disabled without preventing core functionality from working. Under GDPR, no consent is required for strictly necessary cookies.
4. Functional Cookies
The lang_pref cookie stores your chosen language (English, Bulgarian, German or French). It improves your experience by removing the need to reselect your language on each visit. It does not track you across other websites and contains no personal data. You can delete it via your browser settings at any time.
5. Analytics
We use anonymised analytics to understand how people use optimalstaff.eu — which pages get the most traffic, how long sessions last, and where visitors come from. This data is aggregated. No individual user is identifiable from it, and no personal data is transmitted to any analytics service. We use this data to improve the site — nothing else.
6. No Advertising Cookies
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels or any cross-site tracking technologies. No cookie on this site is used to serve ads, build profiles or follow users across the web.
7. Third-Party Cookies from Social Links
Our website contains links to LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram. These links take you to external platforms that are outside our control. If you click those links and visit those platforms, they may set their own cookies on your device according to their own policies. We have no access to or control over those cookies.

8. How to Manage Cookies
You can view, block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent the admin panel from functioning and may affect site performance.
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Most browsers also allow you to set rules for specific sites — blocking all cookies from a domain or allowing only certain types. This gives you fine-grained control without affecting your experience on other sites.
9. Consent and Withdrawal
By continuing to use optimalstaff.eu, you consent to the placement of cookies as described in this policy. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies in your browser and adjusting your browser settings to block further cookies from this site. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before withdrawal.
10. Changes to This Policy
If we add new cookies or change how existing ones work, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change. We will not introduce advertising or tracking cookies without updating this policy first.
