If you do not accept and agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy, and, or the Cookie Policy, please leave the Website.

Your use of the Website will constitute acceptance of the then current Cookie Policy, to include any amendments thereto. Please read this Cookie Policy carefully to ensure that you understand our views and practices regarding the capture, retention, processing and transfer (where applicable) of your information.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file (typically numbers and letters) that is downloaded onto ‘terminal equipment’ (e.g., your computer or smartphone) when you access a website using that device. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit.

Some cookies are needed for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, whereas others may be necessary for the provision of a service over the internet, in which case they have to be used. Other cookies may be desirable to improve your experience, in which case we will ask you for your consent to use them.

What cookies do we use?

The cookies we use are the following:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Website. By way of illustration, they include cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of the Site.
• Analytical Cookies: They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and see how visitors move around the Website when using them and gain insight on how our visitors use them. This means we can find out what works and what doesn’t, optimize and improve our Website, understand the effectiveness of advertisements and communications, and ensure we continue to be interesting and relevant. The data we gather can include which web pages you have viewed, which referring/exit pages you have entered and left from, the number of clicks you make on a given page, your mouse movements and scrolling activity, the search words you use and the text you enter into various fields. This helps us to improve the manner in which our Website works, such as by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for in a seamless and straightforward manner.
• Functionality Cookies: These are used to recognise you when your return to our Website, to help you to use them efficiently and effectively. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region), your searches and your previously viewed job applications. We may also use cookies to remember your registration information so that you don’t have to retype your login credentials each time you visit our site. Passwords will, however, always be encrypted. These functional cookies are not strictly necessary for the functioning of our Website, but they add functionality and enhance your experience as user or visitor.
• Targeting Cookies: These cookies record your visit to our Website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Website, together with the advertising displayed on them, more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this particular purpose.
• Technical Cookies: We try to give our visitors an advanced, user-friendly website that adapts automatically to their needs and wishes. To achieve this, we use technical cookies to show you our Website, to make them function correctly, to create your user account, to sign you in and to manage your job applications. These technical cookies are absolutely necessary for our Website to function properly, i.e. a ‘strictly necessary cookie’.
• Third Party Cookies: These cookies allow the Website to interact with different websites.
• Commercial Cookies: We use third-party cookies as well as our own to display personalized advertisements on our websites and on other websites. This is called “retargeting” and it is based on browsing activities.

Other passive information which we collect

Apart from the information you provide us with when using our Website, other information is passively collected from you (without you actively furnishing such information) when you navigate through the Website. We use various technologies and navigational data collection methods to gather such passive information for various reasons, for example, to track how many visitors access
our Website, the date and time of their visit, the length of their stay and which sections they view. The passive information also aids us to determine which web browsers our visitors use and the address from which they accessed our Website. This technology does not identify you personally.

Such passively collected information may be used and combined to improve our services to website visitors, customise the Website based on your preferences, compile and analyse statistics and trends
of our visitors and their use of the Website. We will use this information and share it with third parties to improve the content, functionality and administration of the Website, to better understand our customers and markets, and to improve our products and services.

We assure you that, unless you have consented, such passive information shall not be combined with personally identifiable information collected elsewhere by our Website.
