What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember you between pages and visits — for example, to keep you logged in, remember filter preferences, and measure how many people read a guide.
We use the word "cookies" in this policy as a shorthand for cookies, local storage, pixels, tags and similar browser technologies.
Why we use them
Cookies help us:
- Keep you logged into your account.
- Remember your language, currency and search preferences.
- Understand which pages are useful (and which are not).
- Keep the Service secure and detect abuse.
- Measure and, where consented, personalise advertising.
Types of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login, security, load balancing, cookie banner state. | Session – 12 months |
| Preferences | Language, currency, saved filters, region. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Aggregated usage measurement to improve the site. | Up to 14 months |
| Advertising | Ad measurement and, where you consent, personalisation. | Up to 13 months |
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by our service providers on our behalf — for example our analytics vendor and advertising partners. These third parties are bound by contract to use the data only for the purposes we specify.
Advertising cookies
JobOrbit is supported in part by advertising. Where you have consented, our advertising partners may use cookies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites you visit. We do not share your name, email or CV with advertisers.
You can withdraw consent to advertising cookies at any time using the cookie banner or through your device's advertising controls. Turning off advertising cookies will not stop ads from appearing — it just means the ads you see will be less relevant.
Managing cookies
You have several options:
- Use the cookie banner shown on your first visit to accept or reject categories.
- Adjust cookie settings in your browser to block or delete specific cookies.
- Use browser modes such as Private / Incognito browsing.
- Use industry opt-outs at youronlinechoices.com (EU) and optout.aboutads.info (US).
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working — for example, staying signed in between pages.
Changes to this policy
We update this cookie policy whenever we add or remove tools that set cookies. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the current version.
