How we use cookies

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small pieces of text that a website stores on your browser so it can remember something about you between page loads or visits. They can be set by us (first-party) or by another service loaded on our pages (third-party). Similar technologies — pixels, tags, local storage, fingerprinting — are covered by this policy too. When we say “cookies” below, we mean all of them.

2. The categories we use

Every cookie on Medijobs falls into one of four categories. You can accept or reject each category independently in the preference center.

2.1 Strictly necessary Always on

Cookies required for the site to function — you can’t switch these off. They keep you logged in, remember your language, protect against CSRF attacks, and route requests through our infrastructure.

2.2 Functional Consent required

Cookies that remember non-essential choices — your saved job searches, country preference, verification progress. Rejecting these doesn’t break the site but does mean we can’t remember your preferences between visits.

2.3 Analytics Consent required

Cookies that tell us how the site is being used — which pages get read, how long people stay, where they drop off. We use this to improve the product. Rejecting these means we won’t measure your visit.

2.4 Marketing Consent required

Cookies that let us show Medijobs ads to you on other sites and measure whether those ads led to a signup. Rejecting these means you’ll still see ads elsewhere, but not Medijobs ads specifically retargeted to you.

3. Every cookie we set — the full list

The table below lists each cookie by name, purpose, third-party recipient (if any), and how long it lasts.

4. Changing your mind

You can withdraw or change consent at any time — from the cookie banner when it appears, or from the Cookie preferences link in the page footer where available. Withdrawing consent doesn’t affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

If you’re a California resident, you can exercise your CCPA/CPRA rights — including “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” — by emailing support@medijobs.ph.

5. What happens if you reject everything except necessary

The site keeps working. You can browse jobs, apply, post roles, and pay for premium features. What we lose is the ability to remember your preferences beyond the session, measure how well the site is performing, and personalize marketing outside Medijobs. What you lose is convenience — but no core functionality.

6. Third parties we work with

The third parties whose cookies we set are listed in the table above. Each of them has their own privacy policy governing how they process your data once we hand it over:

• Stripe (payments): stripe.com/privacy
• Google (Analytics + Ads): policies.google.com/privacy
• Meta (Facebook Pixel): facebook.com/policy.php
• LinkedIn: linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
• Hotjar: hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacy

We do our own diligence on every third party before we integrate them, and we don’t work with providers whose data practices fall short of UK GDPR standards.

7. Legal basis

This policy is governed by:

• The UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), Regulation 6, as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025;
• The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), particularly Article 4(11) on consent;
• Guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), including its 2025 cookie enforcement strategy.

You can exercise your data protection rights (access, correct, delete, etc.) as described in our Privacy Policy. Complaints about our cookie practices can be raised directly with the ICO at ico.org.uk. If you’re a Filipino resident, you can also raise complaints with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines at privacy.gov.ph. If you’re a California resident, complaints go to the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA).
