What is the Scope of this Policy?

Third-Party, Analytics, and Third Party Advertising

WhatJobs use Cookies on this Website to help us provide you with the best service and experience that we can by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie does not allow us access to your computer or any Personal Information about you other than the data you choose to share with us.

A cookie consists of a small text file of information placed on your computer or another internet-connected device by this Website when you visit certain parts of the Website or access certain features stored by your browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time your browser requests a page from the server. This enables the webserver to identify and track the web browser.

WhatJobs uses first-party cookies and other similar technologies for our users’ convenience because they help us provide you with a better Website experience and services by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and those which you do not. We use first-party session cookies to keep track of you while you navigate our Website and persistent cookies to enable our Website to recognize you when you visit or send emails. Session cookies will be deleted from your computer or another internet-connected device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer or another internet-connected device until deleted or until they reach a specified expiry date.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website to tailor it to your needs by personalizing content and advertising. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes, and then the data is removed from the system.

We can gather information about your general internet use, e.g., the history of jobs reviewed and the job searches conducted by your computer. When used, these first-party cookies are downloaded directly onto your computer’s hard drive, but such Information does not identify you personally. It is non-personal statistical data that simply identifies information about you. We can provide you with job recommendations based on your interests, as expressed previously through your searches, if we have this information. The web application can tailor its operation to your needs, likes, and dislikes by gathering information about your preferences. Cookies allow us to ensure our Website functions efficiently, and they enable us to serve secure pages to our Users without asking them to sign in repeatedly.
