3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies (small text files sent to your computer) and similar localStorage technologies to enrich your browsing experience.

  • Essential Cookies: Required to authenticate users, protect sessions, prevent cross-site request forgery, and store your cookie preference.
  • Analytics Cookies: Utilized by Google Analytics (gtag) and our internal trackers to observe site traffic and help us understand popular pages.
  • Advertising Cookies: Used by external platforms (such as Google AdSense) to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to our or other websites.

You can manage cookie settings directly in your browser or choose to decline non-essential trackers via our interactive consent banner.


4. Sharing & Disclosures

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share information in the following circumstances:

  • With Employers: When you voluntarily submit a job application or request, we forward your resume and profile details to the respective recruiter or employer.

5. Data Security & Storage

We employ modern security safeguards, including HTTPS encryption, hashed password storage, database firewalls, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) checkouts, to ensure your information remains secure.

While we take industry-standard precautions, no digital system is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security against unauthorized access or breaches, but we will notify affected users promptly if a breach occurs.
