Cookie Policy — Assist Recruiting

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies contain information that is transferred to your device's storage. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and deliver content that is relevant to your interests.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, which are used in a similar way. For the purposes of this policy, we refer to all of these as "cookies".

2. How we use cookies

Assist Recruiting uses cookies for the following purposes:

Essential operation: To ensure our website functions correctly. These cookies are necessary for the site to load, for forms to work, and for basic navigation to operate as expected.

Performance and analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited most, how long users spend on the site, and where they arrive from. This helps us improve our content and user experience.

Functional preferences: To remember choices you make on the site, such as your cookie consent preferences, so you are not asked the same question on every visit.

We do not use cookies to serve advertising, track your activity across third-party websites, or build profiles for marketing purposes. Assist Recruiting does not and will not sell your data.
