Candidate cookie management

Recruitment Marketing Public

Under GDPR, when cookies can identify an individual via their device, it is considered personal data. Therefore, under GDPR, a candidate must provide a statement of consent or a "clear affirmative action", which may include ticking a box on a website.

Note: Pre-ticking of boxes or similar inactivity is not considered an acceptable form of consent.

For information on the other PageUp modules, refer to Cookie consent.

Notes:

  • Cookies with a "Performance" classification are only placed on the candidate's device if the relevant consent (either explicit or implied consent depending on your specific configuration) has been provided by the candidate.
  • Where stated, the expiry of persistent cookies can be configured via Company settings.
  • The actual expiry of persistent cookies may be less than the configured setting due to rules enforced by specific browsers.

This document explains how to manage candidate cookies and tracking in compliance with GDPR. By enabling these options and making sensible choices that suit your company, Recruitment Marketing allows you to be fully compliant with GDPR, in a fully automated way. Our goal is for compliance without adding chores or manual tasks to recruiters' schedules.

Cookie configuration

Candidate cookies are managed via:

  1. From the side menu, under Company click Settings.
  2. Under Web click Data protection rules.

For more information refer to Candidate anonymization.

For information on internal careers sites, refer to Configuring SAML 2.0 for Internal Candidates in Recruitment Marketing - Managing cookie consent.

External cookie management tools

The use of external or third-party cookie management tools, such as OneTrust or TrustArc, is not supported within Recruitment Marketing.

To ensure that visitors to the Recruitment Marketing powered careers site or Personalised Job Page are not prompted with multiple cookie preference dialogues, customers should ensure that any third-party cookie management tools that are enabled on their domain are disabled for the career site sub-domain.
