This Cookie Policy describes how Talent.com Inc. (“Talent.com,” “we,” “our” or “us”) and our affiliates use cookies, web beacons, pixels, server logs and other similar technologies when you visit our websites, use our mobile applications (together, our "Website" or "Services) or visit other websites employing our cookies.
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that your browser will store on your computer or mobile device, when you visit a website, in order to remember information about you.
A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value. Certain cookies will be used on the Website regardless of whether you are logged in to your account or not.
Cookies are either “session cookies” or “persistent cookies.” Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the Website. Persistent cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie).
Cookies are either first-party cookies or third-party cookies. First-party cookies are placed on our Website by Talent.com. In general, these cookies allow Talent.com to remember your preference settings and perform other useful functions that provide a good user experience when you visit our Website.
Third-party cookies are set on our Website by a domain other than Talent.com. They are placed on our Website by our third-party partners, for various purposes including to perform analytics, detect or prevent fraud or collect information about your activities on our Website and serve you better targeted advertising.
We may also use other forms of tracking technologies similar to a cookie, such as pixels, web beacons and clear gifs. A “pixel” or “pixel tag” is a small piece of code that can be embedded on websites and emails. They are used to learn how you interact with our web pages and emails. “Web beacons” or “clear gifs” help deliver cookies and gather usage and performance data. We and/or our third-party providers may employ web beacons to help us better manage content on our Website by informing us of what content is effective. In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients.
We may also use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your phone. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from.
In this Cookie Policy, we use the term “cookies” to include cookies, web beacons, pixels, server logs and other similar technologies.

We also use cookies and pixels to track when a user interested in a job posting applies to such job, on our clients' websites. We do not share any personal information about our users with these partners or with our clients unless we receive express consent from our users to do so. Also, our partners and clients agree not to use the information collected using our cookies for any purpose other than for measuring the performance of the job postings we publish. |
