Cookies are small text files or similar technical identifiers that a website may store on a visitor's browser or device. They allow websites to remember sessions, preferences and selected settings while helping security and performance systems operate reliably.
JobOoro may use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functionality, maintain secure account sessions, remember preferences, improve website performance and support recruitment features. Depending on the services enabled, certain technologies may also be provided by trusted third-party service providers.
This Cookie Policy explains the general purposes for which these technologies may be used. The exact cookies placed on a particular device can vary according to the features being accessed, account status, browser configuration, consent choices and the services available at the time of your visit.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by a website or service on a user's device. They can help a website recognize a browser or maintain a temporary session. Some cookies are deleted when the browser session ends, while others remain for a defined period.
Similar technologies can include local storage, session identifiers, pixels and other technical mechanisms used to operate, secure or measure a website. In this policy, the term "cookies" may include these related technologies where appropriate.
2. Why JobOoro uses cookies
Cookies may be used for operational, security, performance and service-related purposes. Depending on the feature being used, they may help us:
- Maintain secure account and login sessions.
- Remember selected website preferences.
- Protect accounts against unauthorized activity.
- Support recruitment and application workflows.
- Remember saved jobs and search preferences.
- Improve website performance and reliability.
- Understand general website usage.
- Measure the effectiveness of website features.
- Reduce spam, fraud and automated abuse.
- Support candidate and employer functionality.
3. Types of cookies we may use
Essential cookies
Essential cookies support functions that are necessary for the website to operate. They may be used for authentication, session management, security controls and consent preferences. Without these technologies, some website functions may not operate correctly.
| Purpose | Example |
|---|---|
| User authentication | Secure login session |
| Security | Security and anti-abuse controls |
| Consent | Cookie preference settings |
| Session management | Temporary session identifier |
Performance and analytics cookies
Performance and analytics technologies may help us understand how visitors interact with the website. This can include aggregated information about page views, search activity, traffic sources, device types, performance measurements and general engagement.
This information can help identify technical problems, improve navigation, understand which features are useful and make the platform easier to use. Analytics practices should be configured and operated according to applicable privacy and consent requirements.
Functional cookies
Functional technologies may remember choices that improve the user experience. Depending on the features available, this can include language preferences, country or location preferences, notification settings, dashboard preferences and saved search options.
Recruitment and personalization technologies
Recruitment-related functionality may use cookies or similar technologies to remember recently viewed opportunities, saved jobs, job-alert settings, application workflow information and selected employer dashboard preferences.
These technologies are intended to make the recruitment experience more consistent. They do not mean that every visitor will receive identical content or recommendations.
4. Cookies for registered users
When you create an account, additional session and preference technologies may be required to provide authenticated functionality. These technologies can help maintain secure sessions and remember selected account preferences.
- Maintaining secure account sessions.
- Remembering account preferences.
- Supporting candidate dashboards.
- Supporting employer dashboards.
- Supporting application-related workflows.
- Supporting additional security controls.
Account-related cookies are technical mechanisms supporting available platform functionality. The availability of a particular feature may change as the platform is improved or updated.
5. Third-party technologies
Some website features may depend on third-party service providers. Depending on the services enabled, these providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Examples can include analytics providers, advertising services, security and content delivery providers, email services, payment providers and social integrations.
Third-party services operate under their own technical configurations and policies. Their use of cookies may therefore change independently of this policy. Where applicable, users should review the relevant third-party privacy and cookie information.
6. Security cookies and abuse prevention
Security technologies are particularly important for a recruitment platform because accounts may contain personal information, applications, resumes, employer information and other sensitive account data. Security-related cookies and session identifiers may help protect legitimate sessions and detect unusual activity.
- Detecting suspicious authentication activity.
- Reducing automated abuse and spam.
- Supporting fraud-prevention controls.
- Protecting authenticated sessions.
- Supporting CAPTCHA or similar security systems.
7. Advertising technologies
If advertising services are enabled, advertising technologies may be used to display, measure or limit advertisements. Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies and applicable requirements.
Advertising technologies may help measure campaign performance, reduce repeated advertisements and understand broad advertising interactions. Advertising should remain distinguishable from independent recruitment content.
Sponsored or promotional content should not be represented as an independent employment opportunity when it is actually an advertisement. The platform should maintain a clear distinction between advertising and genuine recruitment information.
8. Managing cookies
Most modern browsers provide controls for managing cookies through their privacy and security settings. Depending on the browser, you may be able to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block selected cookies or block cookies altogether.
If the website provides a cookie preference mechanism, visitors may also be able to control available categories of non-essential technologies.
Blocking essential cookies may affect functionality such as authentication, saved jobs, applications, employer dashboards, resume management and other interactive features.
9. Cookie retention
Cookies do not all have the same lifetime. Some expire when a browser session ends, while others remain for a defined period. Actual retention can vary according to the cookie's purpose, provider, configuration and user preferences.
| Category | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Session cookies | Until the browser session ends |
| Authentication | Configuration dependent |
| Preference cookies | Configuration dependent |
| Analytics | Provider and configuration dependent |
| Security cookies | Variable according to purpose |
These descriptions are general examples rather than a complete technical cookie inventory. Individual cookies may have shorter or longer lifetimes.
10. Your cookie choices
Where applicable, visitors may be offered choices concerning non-essential cookies. Available options may include accepting cookies, rejecting non-essential technologies or customizing available preferences.
Browser controls can also be used to manage stored cookies. Your choices may affect certain website functions, especially features requiring secure sessions or stored preferences.
11. International users
JobOoro may be accessed by visitors from different countries and regions. Cookie use and related data processing may therefore be subject to privacy and data-protection requirements applicable to the relevant services and jurisdictions.
Where applicable, the platform may provide consent controls, privacy information or other mechanisms appropriate to the jurisdictions in which services are offered.
12. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, technologies, service providers, legal requirements or privacy practices change. Updated information will be published on this page together with a revised last-updated date.
We encourage visitors to review this page periodically so they remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies may be used.
