Cookie Policy

Last updated: 30 June 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site operators. We use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and session storage) for the purposes described below.

How We Use Cookies

EquJobs uses cookies in four categories. Strictly necessary cookies are always active: they are required for the platform to function. All other cookie categories are optional and require your consent, which you can manage at any time from your browser settings or our cookie preference centre.

Marketing

Optional

We currently do not use advertising or marketing cookies. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent before placing any marketing cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

We use a small number of trusted third-party services that may also set cookies: **Hosting & infrastructure providers**: used to serve the platform reliably and securely. These cookies are technical in nature and do not track you for advertising purposes. **Analytics providers**: if you consent to performance cookies, anonymised usage data is processed by our analytics provider. No personally identifiable data is shared. We do not use any third-party advertising networks or social media tracking pixels.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control cookies in the following ways: **Browser settings**: Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the platform from working correctly. **Cookie preference centre**: We provide a preference centre within the platform where you can opt in or out of optional cookie categories at any time. **Do Not Track**: If your browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal, we will respect it for analytics purposes. Changes to your preferences take effect immediately. Withdrawing consent does not affect any processing carried out before you withdrew it.

Cookie Retention

Cookies have varying retention periods, as specified in the table above. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them. We review our cookie usage annually and remove any cookies that are no longer necessary.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new features or third-party services that require additional cookies. Material changes will be communicated via email and by updating the date below. We will request fresh consent for any new optional cookie categories.
