How We Use Cookies on people cloud

We use a limited number of essential cookies to keep our payroll platform secure and functional for your Pearl, MS business. This page explains what we store, why, and how you can control it.

No Marketing Trackers Essential Only Data Localized
01

Core Functions & Security

The people cloud Compack platform relies on a small set of technical cookies to function. We do not use cookies to track your behavior across other websites or build advertising profiles. Our implementation follows the principle of data minimization—only what's necessary for payroll operations.

Session Management: Temporary cookies keep you logged into your secure dashboard while processing payroll runs. These expire when you close your browser.

Security & Fraud Prevention: We use security cookies to verify your device and location, helping prevent unauthorized access to sensitive payroll data. This is critical for compliance with federal and Mississippi state security regulations.

Form State Preservation: When you fill out employee onboarding or tax withholding forms, temporary cookies store your input as you navigate pages, preventing data loss if you accidentally refresh.

Your Control & Consent

While we only use essential cookies (no marketing or analytics), you still have full control. Your browser settings allow you to block or delete cookies, but please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging into the people cloud platform or processing payroll.

We respect the concept of "informed consent" for any future non-essential features. If we introduce a feature that uses non-essential cookies (such as preference saving), we will provide a clear, granular opt-in mechanism before activation.

For questions about our data practices, please review our Privacy Policy or contact our support team.

Terms Explained

HTTP-only Cookie
Accessible only by our servers, not by browser JavaScript. Crucial for preventing session hijacking.
SameSite
Restricts how cookies are sent with cross-site requests. We set it to 'Strict' for security.
Session vs. Persistent
Session cookies end when you close your browser. Persistent cookies (if any) have a set expiration, typically for 30 days.

MS Compliance Note

While Mississippi does not have a state-specific privacy law like California's CCPA, our cookie policy is designed to meet the highest standards, aligning with federal FTC guidelines on data security and user transparency.
