Last Updated: August 16, 2024

Our Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing and storage of your information. This policy specifically explains how we and third-party service providers deploy cookies, as well as the options you have to control them.

Cookies are deployed when you visit:

  • Our website: careercubs.com

Throughout this Cookie Policy we will refer to our website as “Website”.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”).

They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first-party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (known as “third-party cookies”).

How we use cookies

We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons, while some enable a personalized experience for visitors. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “like” or “follow” button on a post, for example). For more information on the choices you have about the cookies we use, please see the Controlling Cookies section below.
