This enables us to understand how you use the site and track any patterns that emerge individually or from larger groups. This helps us to develop and improve our website and services in response to what our visitors want and need; and</p><p>to help us advertise jobs to you that we think you'll be interested in. Hopefully this means less time for you trawling through endless pages and will get you into the employment you want more quickly.</p><h2>Cookies are either:</h2><p>Session cookies: these are only stored on your computer during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser &ndash; they usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page but they do not collect any information from your computer; or</p><p>Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer and it remains there when you close your web browser.

These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.</p><p>Performance cookies: These cookies enable us to monitor and improve the performance of our website.

For instance, we may be able to provide you with news or updates relevant to the services you use. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, font and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised.</p><p>Personalisation cookies: These cookies help us to advertise details of potential job opportunities that we think may be of interest. These cookies are persistent (for as long as you are registered with us) and mean that when you log in or return to the website, you may see advertising for jobs that are similar to jobs that you have previously browsed.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><p>&nbsp;</p>
