13. Cookies

On this website we place cookies, web beacons (also called pixel tags) and similar technologies that use your device’s (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc) browser storage to save and share information with our systems and trusted third-party service providers.

The following information explains the types of technologies, what they do, and how we use them on this website:

A. COOKIES: Cookies are small text files that store a little bit of information on your device (like your laptop, tablet, or phone) when you visit our website. They are sent with each browser request to the server and can be created, read, or updated by the website’s code (including JavaScript). Each cookie includes an expiration date.

Cookies help our website (and our trusted third-party partners) recognize your device, log you in, remember your preferences, and track how the site is used and performs. Some cookies come directly from us (called first-party cookies), while others come from outside companies that work with us (called third-party cookies). Cookies do not harm your device and do not contain viruses or other harmful software.

There are two functions for cookies:

Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They can be strictly necessary or non-essential.

Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device until you manually delete them or they reach their expiration date. They can be strictly necessary or non-essential.

Cookies can also be categorized as follows:

Strictly necessary cookies – Essential for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, the services available to you on our website cannot be provided. These cookies do not require permission.

Functionality cookies- These cookies allow for certain features, preferences or plugins to work on the site. These cookies will only be placed if you agree to their use.

Performance cookies - Collect information about how you use our website (e.g., which pages you visit most often) to help us improve performance. These cookies will only be placed after you give permission to the use of cookies.

Advertising/Social Media Cookies - Used to deliver relevant ads and enable social media features and integrations. These cookies will only be placed after you give permission to the use of cookies.

B. WEB STORAGE: Sometimes, a website needs to save more information than a cookie can hold. That’s when Web Storage is used. Web Storage files are saved directly in your web browser.

They help websites remember things like:

Cached data: Information saved by your browser so pages load faster next time.

User preferences: The settings you’ve chosen, such as language or display options.

Application state: Where you are in a process, like filling out a multi-step form.

Unlike cookies, Web Storage files do not send information back to the website every time you visit a new page. This helps pages load faster and improves performance, especially on mobile devices. However, if you have consented to the relevant cookies/scripts, our website code can read this storage and transmit the necessary data to our servers to maintain your preferences or application state.

There are three types of Web Storage:

Local Storage

What it does: It stores information that needs to persist across sessions, such as your saved settings, language preferences, or progress on a form.

Security & Access: Local storage is designed to be domain-specific. This means data stored by our website (e.g., roberthalf.com) can only be accessed by pages and code originating from our website.

When it expires: Due to how the technology works, data normally remains until it is deleted by script, the user (e.g. clearing site data), or the browser, rather than expiring on a set date like most cookies.

When it’s placed on browser: After you have given permission for the use of cookies, unless they are strictly necessary for website functionality. You can manage or withdraw your permission using the Cookie Preference Center below or by clicking the green symbol on the bottom left-hand side of the website. If you withdraw permission after the files have been placed, they will be blocked by our consent manager. Processing of data from these files will stop.

Session Storage

What it does: It holds temporary information, such as data needed to complete a form or to checkout.

Security & Access: The data is not shared across other websites or even other tabs/windows. It is designed to stay on the single tab or window you have opened at that time.

When it expires: It is automatically removed when you close your browser tab/window.

When it's placed on the browser: After you have given permission for the use of cookies, unless they are strictly necessary for website functionality. You can manage or withdraw your permission using the Cookie Preference Center below or by clicking the green symbol on the bottom left-hand side of the website. If you withdraw permission after the files have been placed, they will be blocked by our consent manager. Processing of data from these files will stop.

IndexedDB

What it is: A mini-database in your browser that can hold larger amounts of information for more advanced website features.

What it does: It stores data used by complex web applications, such as video players, without slowing down the site.

Security & Access: It is domain-specific. Data stored by our website can only be accessed by pages and code originating from our website.

When it’s deleted: The data stays until you manually clear your browser’s cached data or automatically if the browser needs more space to run or there has been no activity for a designated period of time (the browser company determines the inactivity time for deleting the data).

When it's used by the browser: After you have given permission for the use of cookies, unless they are strictly necessary for website functionality. You can manage or withdraw your permission using the Cookie Preference Center below or by clicking the green symbol on the bottom left-hand side of the website. If you withdraw permission after the files have been placed, they will be blocked by our consent manager. Processing of data from these files will stop.

C. JAVASCRIPT TAGS: JavaScript tags are small pieces of code added to a website to make certain features work. They can be placed in different parts of a webpage using the <script> tag or through tag management tools like Tealium.

When a tag loads, your browser runs the code so the website can do things like:

Load extra scripts or content

Change parts of the page

Collect or send information to servers in real time

Share data with analytics or advertising tools

As part of what a tag does on a website, they may also use cookies or web storage files to store and send information through your browser.

We use two types of JavaScript tags on our website:

1. Essential Tags

What they do: These tags support services you have explicitly requested or are essential to website functionality—such as logging into your account, maintaining your progress while uploading a résumé, or submitting a job application form. They also perform critical background functions like load balancing and security checks to keep the site stable and safe.

How they work: They place code which may use local or session storage files and cookies that are needed for the website to operate correctly.

Safety: These tags are safe to use and do not harm your device. They are free from viruses, Trojans, and malware.

Consent: Because these are strictly necessary to deliver the services you have asked for or to ensure the security of our systems, they do not require permission.

2. Web Beacons / Pixel Tags

What they are: These are JavaScript tags, sometimes called tracking pixels or web beacons. They work with our third-party partners (Tealium Collect, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insights) to measure and improve how our website/ads perform.

How they work: A pixel is a tiny, invisible image built into the JavaScript’s code. It doesn’t store or change any information on your device. Instead, it sends limited data— the page you visited, when you visited it, your browser type, and cookie data—to the servers of our third-party partners.

Storage used: These tags may create local or session storage files, set cookies, or use IndexedDB storage.

Safety: Pixels do not harm your device and are free from viruses, Trojans, and malware.

Consent: Pixel tags are only used after you give permission. You can manage or withdraw your permission anytime through the Cookie Preference Center or by clicking the green symbol at the bottom left of the website.
