Cookie Policy.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don’t have to re-enter information when you return to the site or browse from one page to another.

Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. They can be “first-party” cookies (set by the website you’re visiting) or “third-party” cookies (set by a service used by the website, such as an analytics or advertising provider).

Cookies can also be classified by how long they remain on your device:

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.

Applicant Network uses cookies and similar technologies to provide, secure, and improve our platform. Specifically, we use cookies to:

• Enable Essential Features: Allow you to log in, navigate the site, and use core functionality
• Remember Your Preferences: Store settings like language, theme, and display preferences
• Improve Performance: Help us understand how you use the site so we can make it better
• Analyze Usage: Collect data about site traffic and user behavior
• Enhance Security: Detect and prevent fraudulent activity and security threats
• Personalize Content: Show you relevant job recommendations and content

These cookies track your activity across websites to deliver relevant advertising and measure campaign effectiveness. They are optional and can be disabled.

• Targeted advertising
• Social media integration
• Conversion tracking
• Remarketing campaigns

We use services from trusted third-party providers that may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these third-party cookies. Please review the privacy policies of these services to learn how they use cookies.

When you first visit Applicant Network, you’ll see a cookie banner where you can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

• View what cookies are stored on your device

Browser-Specific Instructions

When you first visit Applicant Network, we present you with a clear cookie consent banner that explains our use of cookies. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent as they are essential for the website to function. For all other categories of cookies (functionality, analytics, and marketing), we will only set them on your device after you have provided your explicit consent.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences through the cookie settings option available in the footer of our website, or by clearing cookies from your browser settings.

Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites indicating that you don’t want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to Do Not Track signals.

We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, but you can manage cookies as described in the Cookie Management section above. We continue to monitor developments in this area and will update our practices as industry standards evolve.

Our website uses cookies on mobile devices just as it does on desktop computers. You can manage cookies on mobile devices through your browser settings, similar to desktop browsers.

On mobile apps (if applicable), you can manage tracking preferences through your device settings:

• iOS: Settings → Privacy → Tracking
• Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date at the top.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of Applicant Network after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
