What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you access websites on the internet. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites function efficiently, provide a better user experience, and to gather reporting information about website usage and visitor behavior.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, CURRICULO GRATIS AUSTRALIA) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device until deleted or until they reach their expiration date). The specific types and purposes of cookies we use are described in detail throughout this policy.

We do not control the cookies set by social media platforms, and you should review their respective privacy policies and cookie policies to understand how they collect and use your information.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Website, which pages are most popular, how users navigate through our content, and where improvements can be made to enhance user experience.
