Pioneer Recruit Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 29, 2024
This Cookie Policy explains how Pioneer Recruit ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (https://pioneerrecruit.com/) (the "Site"). It outlines what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By using our Site, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy (unless you disable them through your browser or as explained below). For more information on how we handle your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online services to facilitate and enhance your browsing experience. They can perform various functions, such as remembering your preferences, enabling certain features, or providing analytics information. We also use similar technologies like web beacons (tiny graphic images or scripts) and tracking pixels (such as the Facebook Pixel) which function in a way similar to cookies. There are different types of cookies:
First-party cookies: These are set by the website you are visiting (in this case, Pioneer Recruit).
Third-party cookies: These are set by domains other than our website, typically when we use external services (like analytics or advertising providers) on our Site.
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods:
Session cookies: Temporary cookies that stay on your device only while your browser is open. They are deleted once you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: These remain on your device after your browser is closed, for a duration specified in the cookie (they are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sites or sessions).
Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our Site:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas (if any). Without these cookies, the site may not function properly. (For example, if our site uses a cookie to remember items in a shopping cart or to load certain scripts, it would be considered necessary. While Pioneer Recruit does not have user login accounts, necessary cookies might include those that help with basic site functionality or security.)
Analytics/Performance Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. For instance, we use Google Analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use our pages, which pages are most popular, or if any error messages occur. The data collected through these cookies is aggregated and used to improve our Site’s functionality. (These cookies do not directly identify individual users; they provide statistics that help us make our website better.)
Functional Cookies: These cookies allow our Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they might remember your preferences (such as language or region selection) or other customizations. Functional cookies may also be used to provide certain features like videos or live chat, if those are part of our Site. (If you disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.)
Advertising/Targeting Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may also limit the number of times you see an ad and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Third-party advertising partners may set these cookies through our Site. For example, we may use the Facebook Pixel, which sets a cookie to help us show you relevant advertisements on Facebook or other platforms, and to measure interactions with those ads. These cookies remember that you have visited our Site and may track your browsing habits and activity across websites. The information collected is used to build a profile of your interests so that advertising on other sites is more relevant to you. If we use advertising cookies, the data may be shared with third parties (like ad networks or social media platforms).
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our Site are placed by third-party services that we use. As mentioned above, two key third-party services we use are:
Google Analytics: Google Analytics sets cookies (_ga, _gid, and others) to collect information about how visitors use our Site. This information (including your IP address and usage data) is transmitted to Google and used to compile statistics on website activity. We use these insights to improve the Site. Google may also use this data to improve its own services and offerings. For more details on how Google Analytics works and how Google uses information from sites that use their services, you can visit Google’s site on this topic. You can opt out of Google Analytics cookies by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by adjusting your browser settings (see Managing Cookies below).
Facebook Pixel: The Facebook Pixel (provided by Meta) places cookies to collect data about your behavior on our Site. This data helps us show you relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram, and it allows Facebook to improve its advertising services. The information collected via the Facebook Pixel is subject to Facebook’s data policies. You can manage how Facebook uses data for ads in your Facebook user settings, or opt out of certain Facebook ads through the Facebook Ad Preferences or via industry opt-out websites like the DAA WebChoices Tool.
In addition to these, other third-party tools or embedded content on our Site (such as an embedded video, social media share button, or a map) may set cookies. Third-party cookies are ultimately controlled by the providers of those services, and their cookie practices are governed by their own privacy/cookie policies.
Managing Cookies
You have the right to accept or reject cookies. There are several ways you can manage your cookie preferences:
Browser Settings: Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline some or all cookies if you prefer. You can also remove cookies that have already been set. Each browser is a bit different, but typically you can find these options under the "Settings" or "Preferences" menu of your browser, then look for the "Privacy" or "Cookies" section. From there, you may be able to:
View and delete cookies on your device.
Block third-party cookies.
Block all cookies from specific websites or all sites.
Clear all cookies when you close your browser.
Please note that if you disable or delete certain cookies, parts of our Site may not function properly. For example, if you block all cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of our services or features.
Opt-Out Mechanisms: For analytics cookies like Google Analytics, you can opt out by using the browser add-on mentioned above. For advertising cookies, many third-party advertisers are members of industry groups that provide simple ways to opt out of ad targeting. For example, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out page to opt out of many advertising cookies. Additionally, if the Facebook Pixel is being used for ads, you can adjust your ad settings in your Facebook account to control the data usage for targeted advertising.
Do Not Track: Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites you do not want to be tracked. Currently, our Site does not respond to Do Not Track signals. However, you can use the other methods described here to control data collection and use.
If you reject cookies, you can still use our Site, but your ability to use some features or areas of our Site might be limited.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or how we use them, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
