What cookies and similar technologies we use, why, and how to control them. We don't run advertising cookies on the marketing site, and we never sell behavioural data.
This notice describes the small data files - cookies and similar technologies - that JobAssist.com places on your device, what each one is for, and how to control them. Read it together with the Privacy Notice and the Terms of Service: the three documents work as one set.
When you continue using JobAssist after seeing the cookie banner, you are consenting to the use described here, except for the categories you have switched off.
A cookie is a tiny text file that a website asks your browser to keep on your device. The next time you come back, the browser hands the file to the site, which lets the site recognize the browser, remember preferences, and avoid asking you to repeat things.
We use a few related technologies that work the same way for our purposes - pixels, local storage, SDKs in mobile browsers - and treat all of them as "cookies" in this notice.
We use both session cookies (which disappear when you close the browser) and persistent cookies (which sit on the device for a defined period unless you delete them). Some are first-party (set by JobAssist) and some are third-party (set by services we use).
Cookies on JobAssist fall into four categories. The first is required for the site to function; the other three you can switch on or off in the cookie banner or, later, from the cookie-settings link in our footer.
Strictly necessary. These keep the basic site working. They authenticate you, remember the page you were on, balance traffic across servers, protect against abuse, and keep the cookie banner from re-appearing every time you reload. Without them the site cannot run, so they cannot be turned off.
Performance and analytics. These tell us, in aggregate, how the site is being used: which pages get visited, how long people stay, where errors occur, where features get stuck. We use the signal to fix bugs and to make the product better. The major third parties in this category are Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Mixpanel.
Functional. These remember the choices you make so the experience feels less repetitive - language preference, which resume version you used last, communication settings. Switching them off does not break the site, but it does make the site forget those choices.
Advertising and measurement. These let us reach people on other platforms and measure whether our ads work. Partners in this category include Google Ads, Facebook, and LinkedIn, plus other digital advertising networks. They may set their own cookies on your device when you visit the site, and we share usage and interaction signals with them for ad targeting and measurement.
If you have not given consent for advertising cookies in the banner, we will not load them. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an opt-out automatically and do not load advertising cookies for that browser, no banner click required.
You have a few overlapping ways to control what we - and our partners - set on your device.
Inside JobAssist. The cookie banner that appears on your first visit lets you accept all categories, reject everything except strictly necessary, or pick categories one at a time. You can re-open the same controls later from the cookie-settings link in our footer.
In your browser. Every modern browser lets you block, accept, or delete cookies, alert you whenever one is being set, and clear what is already on the device. Where to find the controls depends on which browser you use:
- Microsoft Edge - Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data
- Mozilla Firefox - Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Google Chrome - Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies (or "Cookies and other site data")
- Safari (macOS) - Safari → Settings → Privacy
- Safari (iOS) - Settings → Apps → Safari → (Privacy & Security)
- Opera - Settings → Privacy & security → Site Settings → Cookies and site data
On your phone. Mobile operating systems include their own controls in addition to the browser:
- Android - Google Support article on cookies and site data
- iOS - Apple Support article on managing cookies in Safari
For advertising specifically. You can opt out of interest-based advertising at the industry level through:
- Digital Advertising Alliance: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/
- Network Advertising Initiative: https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/
- Google Ads settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads
Heads up. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will break parts of the site you depend on (sign-in, applications). Blocking the other categories degrades convenience and personalization but does not stop you from using core features. Deleting existing cookies does not stop new ones from being set the next time you visit, unless you also change your browser preferences accordingly.
We may add, remove, or change vendors over time. When the change is significant - a new advertising partner, a meaningful shift in what is collected - we update this page and adjust the consent banner so that you can review the change. Smaller updates are posted with a new effective date at the top.
