What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and scripts that help a website operate, remember choices, or measure activity after the visitor allows optional categories.
Categories BearTalent Uses
Strictly necessary
These are always enabled because they are required for site operation, consent storage, security, auth/session protections, CSRF protections, load-balancer or session routing, and job application form functionality.
Preferences
Preference cookies or local storage may remember non-sensitive choices such as theme, language, display settings, or saved non-sensitive filters. They are optional and are disabled by default.
Analytics
Analytics cookies and scripts help BearTalent understand page views and public-site usage after analytics consent. They are optional and are disabled by default.
Marketing / Advertising / Retargeting
Marketing technologies may support advertising measurement, retargeting, sale/share, or targeted advertising choices where configured. They are optional, disabled by default, and remain disabled when Global Privacy Control is detected.
Changing Choices
Use the Cookie Settings or Your Privacy Choices link in the site footer to update choices for the current browser and device. Consent for beartalent.tech and jobs.beartalent.tech is stored independently by browser origin.
Global Privacy Control
If the browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, BearTalent treats marketing, advertising, sale/share, and targeted advertising choices as opted out for that browser context.
