Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 25, 2021

By using or accessing the Work4 websites (the "Sites"), you agree to Work4's use of cookies as described below. For purposes of this Cookie Policy, "Work4" or "we" or "us" refers to Work 4 SAS, a subsidiary appointed by parent company Work4 Inc. as a representative and point of contact for supervisory authorities and data subjects, for any disputes relating to data processing, for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of California. All references to Job Seekers, Employers and Personal Data are defined in accordance with the provisions of our Privacy Policy.

1. Introduction: What is a cookie?

This Cookie Policy is intended to clarify the circumstances under which cookies may be sent to the computers of visitors to our Sites. Cookies are text-based pieces of information that a website sends to a user's hard drive or other web browsing device for the purpose of storing certain information. Cookies allow our Sites to retain information necessary to make your browsing experience more comfortable. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain that issued it, its "lifetime" and a unique identifier in numeric or other randomly generated form. Some cookies will be used on the Sites whether or not you are logged into your account. Session cookies are temporary cookies that are stored in the cookie file of your browser until you leave one of our Sites. Persistent cookies are stored in the cookie file of your browser for a much longer period of time (although the length of time a cookie is stored depends on its lifetime). We use session cookies to track the total number of visitors to our Sites. We may also use cookies to identify your computer when you return to our Sites in order to personalize your experience. In these cases, we may associate Personal Information with a cookie file.

2. Our Use of Cookies

We use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies from third party partners, such as Google, Facebook, Snapchat and Tiktok to provide measurement services and optimize ad targeting, as well as for marketing purposes. These operations take place from the Sites, as well as in some of our advertisements on third-party websites. These cookies, web beacons and similar technologies allow us to display our advertising content on other websites you visit, and also to connect you to more Employers. We may also share information about your behavior on the Sites with third parties (including operators of third party websites and/or social networks) in order to present you with targeted advertisements and other content tailored to your profile. We use cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies to track our advertisements to help us determine which advertisements users have seen, how many times users have seen a particular advertisement, and on which site a particular advertisement appeared. We may also allow Employers to place cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies in the advertisements we serve on our Sites and on third party websites to help those Employers understand how people interact with our advertisements with respect to their Job Postings. We may also use these cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies on the Sites to understand trends and inform an Employer of users who have seen a job posting or other advertisement related to the Employer.

Analysis purposes

Work4 uses cookies to analyze user activity in order to improve its Sites. For example, we may use cookies to identify general trends such as the average number of job searches performed by users. We will use the information gathered from these analyses to improve the operation and user experience of our Sites.

Your preferences and user experience

Work4 uses cookies to collect certain information about users, such as browser type, server, language preference and country setting, in order to record user preferences on our Sites and thereby make your user experience more consistent and comfortable. For example, we may store in a cookie the searches you have recently performed, so that you can easily restart them when you return to our Sites, or so that we can suggest profile information to you when you create an account and fill out a resume on the Sites. In addition, we use cookies to maintain your login status when you repeatedly visit our Sites. We may also use your IP address to determine your location (city or zip code) to present you with the most relevant search results.

Measurement services, Targeted Ads optimization and marketing

We use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies from third party partners, such as Google, to provide measurement services and optimize ad targeting, as well as for marketing purposes. You will encounter these when you visit our Sites. These cookies, web beacons and similar technologies allow us to display our advertising content (a job posting available on the Sites) on other websites that you visit. Our third party advertising partners may also use these technologies to identify your interests over time and the websites you visit in order to provide you with personalized content. Work4 may also share information about your behavior on the Sites with third parties (including operators of third-party websites) in order to present you with targeted advertisements and other content tailored to your profile. We also use cookies to help target our ads. We use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies, including from third party partners, to track which ads users have seen, how many times users have seen a particular ad, and on which site a particular ad appeared. You have the right to object to the legitimate use of your Personal Data for marketing purposes. To opt out of the collection and use of your data for ad targeting, or to exercise any other rights, please follow the steps below as described in Section 10 of our Privacy Policy.

Referral Monitoring

Cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, including those of our third party partners, allow us to associate a user's activity with a third party website that referred the user to our Sites, or to associate a user's activity that Work4 referred to a third party website. Some of these third-party websites are partner websites that receive credit for the activities of users referred to our Sites, or give us credit in exchange for the activities of users referred to their sites. Nonetheless, we may use these technologies to share with Employers limited information about user activity, such as whether you viewed a Job Posting, and which third-party websites you interacted with through a link to a Job Posting on the Sites. We also use cookies and these technologies to associate a user's activity with the email campaign that referred the user to our Sites.

Security

We use cookies to limit certain types of cyber attacks.

Testing, using and improving performance

We use cookies to ensure a consistent user experience when we conduct A/B testing of certain aspects of our Sites in order to improve our product offerings. We also use cookies to improve the performance and reliability of our Sites.

Fraud and spam prevention

Cookies are useful to us when we are investigating fraud and conducting investigations. We sometimes use our own indexes to identify activity related to certain cookies.

Compliance

We may use cookies to anonymize traffic and activity data collected about your use of our Sites. We may also set a cookie called consent to store your cookie consent status when you interact with our cookie banner.

3. The Types of Cookies We Use

We use proprietary and third-party cookies differently on our Sites in connection with the many products and services we offer you. We may allow third parties to use cookies on our Sites in order to provide and improve our services to you. Please visit their websites for more information about their privacy practices:
Work4 may also provide an Employer with conversion tracking code to place on its website that probes the web beacon of Job Seekers and whether a Job Seeker has applied for a job on that Employer's website. This conversion tracking will attribute an application to Work4 as soon as the Job Seeker begins their search on our Sites or through our Services, despite any intervening activity. Work4 does not have access to cookies placed on the Employer's domain. Conversion tracking is a simple counter that informs Work4 that a Job Seeker has applied for a job.

The paragraphs below provide our users in some markets with "Cookie Settings" options. Other types of controls available to our users are:
- Browser and Device Specific Controls
Your browser may offer to block cookies, such as third-party cookies. Some browsers also allow you to analyze and manage cookies on a case-by-case basis. We encourage you to review your browser's settings and documentation to learn more about the controls it has and how they work.

– Turning off ad targeting
You may also opt out of the targeting of ads we send to you through our third party advertising partners by reviewing the resources they make available (such as the document How Google Uses Information from Sites or Applications that Use Our Services), or by contacting them through the digital advertising self-regulatory initiatives available in the European Union (Your Online Choices), the United States (Your Advertising Choices), and Canada (Your Advertising Choices). As similar initiatives emerge in other markets, we may update this list from time to time. We encourage you to visit all of these Sites for more information about how each company approaches ad targeting, as well as the lists of companies that are part of them and the options available to users.
Please note: any opt-out of third parties may trigger a third-party cookie to confirm your choice, and deleting third-party cookies from your browser or device may change or remove your choice.
