Cookie Policy
CareerPlaza Group B.V. uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your computer. They help us recognize your web browser. Below you will find more information about cookies and how we use them.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer. It helps your browser to be recognized by web servers, making websites easier to use.
Cookies ensure that, for example, you remain logged in on a site or that your preferences are remembered. They also collect anonymous information about your browsing behavior, such as whether you have visited the site before. This helps websites to display more relevant information and advertisements, which is often necessary to fund the site. Cookies can track whether you have seen an advertisement to prevent repetition.
You can always remove cookies from your computer. After removing them, you may need to reset your preferences or log in again on some sites.
It is a misconception that cookies are unsafe. Our cookies do not store personal information such as email addresses or phone numbers. They are purely intended to allow the web server to recognize your computer and to better tailor the content to your preferences.
Cookies by Function
We distinguish between different types of cookies based on their function: technical cookies, analytical cookies, functional cookies, and advertising cookies.
- Technical cookie: this is essential for a website and certain functions to work technically. For example, for accessing secure parts of a site. Without these cookies, some services cannot function.
- Analytical cookie: this type collects information about how you use the website, such as which pages are visited most and where error messages appear. They help us understand how the site is used, so we can improve it and enhance usability for you.
- Functional cookie: this remembers the choices you make on the site, such as your username, currency, language, or region. This means you do not have to reset your preferences every time, which enhances usability.
- Advertising cookie: these cookies are intended to tailor advertisements more specifically to you, ensure you do not see the same ad repeatedly, and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are often placed by advertising networks with the permission of the website administrator and track whether you have clicked on an advertisement.
Cookies by Duration
We also distinguish cookies based on their duration: session cookies and persistent (or permanent) cookies.
- Session cookie: this is active as long as you are active on a website. When you close the browser, session cookies are automatically deleted. They are useful for temporarily storing shopping carts during an online shopping session, for example.
- Persistent (or permanent) cookie: this type of cookie remains on your computer for a longer period, even after you close the web browser. Persistent cookies help, for example, to keep you logged in on a website during subsequent visits, giving you immediate access without having to log in again.
Cookies by Parties
A distinction is also made based on the parties placing the cookies: first-party cookies and third-party cookies.
- First-party cookie: this is a cookie directly linked to the website you are visiting. These cookies are used to enhance your experience on the website, such as remembering login details or shopping cart contents.
- Third-party cookie: these cookies are placed by a party other than the owner of the website you are visiting. This is often done by advertising networks or social media platforms that offer their services through the visited website. They are used for collecting information for advertisements, content personalization, and statistics.
