Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how personal data are collected through cookies and how cookies are used by Nexus Media Group, LLC. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Company", "we", "us", or "our") when you access or use the ResumeDirect (https://resume.direct) and CVDirect (https://cvdirect.uk) websites (hereafter the "Site" or "Sites").

In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner 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 (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites. We are neither responsible nor liable for the processing of personal data by these third parties, and can therefore not guarantee that these third parties will handle your personal data in a reliable and secure manner. You should always read the privacy and Cookie policies of other websites or tools before using them. If you want to know more about Cookies in general, please refer to the website All About Cookies (https://allaboutcookies.org/).

In addition to Cookies, we also use tracking and other technologies that can be very similar. Our Sites may contain small transparent image files or codes that record information about you. These are, for example, 'scripts', 'web beacons' or 'tracking URLs'. These technologies are also referred to as Cookies.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Site.

This is described in more detail below.

1. ESSENTIAL COOKIES
First-party cookies are essential for our Site's core activity and are automatically activated when you use the Site. These Cookies are for example used to remember your account details and preferences, so that you can use our Site efficiently and effectively. These Cookies also include the enabling of essential security and accessibility features so that you can safely use our Site. We also save your permission settings in a Cookie to remember these for future visits.

We may use these essential Cookies without your consent. As these Cookies are necessary, you cannot opt out of this category. However, the Cookies will never be used for any purpose other than ensuring the functionality of our Site.

2. ANALYTICAL COOKIES
These Cookies help improve the performance of the Site and provide a better user experience. This enables us to offer you a high quality experience by adapting our Site and content and identifying and resolving problems quickly. For example, we use performance Cookies to monitor which pages are most popular, which method of navigation between pages is the most effective, and to ascertain why some pages receive error notifications.

We also use Google Analytics. When enabled, Google will collect visitation information and associate it with Google information from accounts of signed-in users who have consented to this association for the purpose of analytics and personalization. This Google information may include the end user location, search history, YouTube history, and data from sites that partner with Google, and is used to provide us aggregated and anonymized insights into our users' cross device behaviors. We therefore see global statistics and anonymised data.

You can read more about Google Analytics here and also opt out of Google Analytics at any time here. Your data with Google may be accessed or deleted via My Activity. You can also refuse these Cookies by changing your browser settings. Please refer to the section "HOW CAN I CONTROL COOKIES?". Should anything change with regard to the rules on the use of Google Analytics, we will adjust our use accordingly.

3. MARKETING AND TRACKING COOKIES
We collaborate with third parties to display advertisements on our Site or to manage advertisements on other sites. Those third parties can use technologies such as Cookies to collect information about your activities on this Site and other sites in order to offer you advertising based on your browsing activities and interests. You can refuse these Cookies by changing your browser settings. We refer to the section "HOW CAN I CONTROL COOKIES?".

For example, Google may not share your information with other advertisers. If required, they may share this information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal process or governmental requests.

4. SOCIAL MEDIA BUTTONS
Our Site may contain buttons, widgets, tools or content that link to services from other companies (for example, Facebook 'like' or 'share' buttons). We may collect information about your use of these functions. In addition, when you see or use these buttons, tools or content, or if you view a web page that contains these, certain information from your browser can be sent to the other company automatically. Read that company's privacy policy for more information.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies via our Cookie banner on our Site. This tool is automatically loaded when you visit the Site for the first time. We give you the option of accepting or declining certain Cookies, with the exception of the essential Cookies.

More information on how to enable, disable and delete Cookies can be found in the instructions for your internet browser. We always recommend that you check whether your internet browser is up to date. For this purpose, you can use the help and support button of your internet browser.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Site or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
