By using or accessing ApplyUp’s websites (“Site”), you agree to ApplyUp’s use of Cookies as outlined below. All references to Job Seeker and Employer are defined as provided for in the ApplyUp Terms of Service Introduction.
This Cookie policy helps to explain the occasions when and why cookies may be sent to visitors to the Site (referred to in this policy as “we”, “us” or “our”). “Cookies” are text-only pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual’s hard drive or other website-browsing equipment for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow the Site to remember important information that will make your use of the site more convenient. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value. Certain cookies will be used on the Site regardless of whether you are logged in to your account or not. Session Cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the Site.
Persistent Cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie). When we use session cookies to track the total number of visitors to our Site, this is done on an anonymous aggregate basis (as cookies do not in themselves carry any personal data). We may also employ cookies so that we remember your computer when it is used to return to the Site to help customize your ApplyUp web experience. We may associate personal information with a cookie file in those instances.
We use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies, including from third-party partners such as Google and Facebook, for measurement services, better targeting advertisements, and for marketing purposes. This takes place from the Site and when you download or install an ApplyUp App. These cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies allow us to display ApplyUp promotional material to you on other sites you visit across the Internet. ApplyUp may also share information about your behavior on the Site with third parties (including operators of third-party websites and/or social networking sites) in order to show you targeted advertisements and other content that has been customized for you. We also use these cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to facilitate the ApplyUp Targeted Ads Program. In connection with this Program and other advertising, we use these cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to determine which advertisements users have seen, how many times users have seen a particular advertisement, and on which sites a particular advertisement appeared. We may also use these cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies on the Site to understand and inform an Employer about which users saw a particular Job Listing, Company Page, Hiring Event, or other advertisement in which the Employer is identified.

We do not share any personal information or information about individual user activities with these partner entities.

In addition, ApplyUp may also provide an employer with code for a Conversion Tracker to place on its Site that pings the job seeker web beacon and tracks whenever a job seeker has applied to a job on that employer’s website. This Conversion Tracker will attribute an application to ApplyUp any time the job seeker started their search on ApplyUp, despite any intervening activity. ApplyUp does not have access to the cookies in the employer’s domain. The Conversion Tracker is simply a counter that notifies ApplyUp that a job seeker has applied. If you would like to remove yourself from ApplyUp’s job seeker web beacon, you must use our web beacon opt-out.
ApplyUp uses the AdWords and Remarketing Lists features of Google Analytics for Display Advertisers. ApplyUp and Google use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past visits to our Site. This means that vendors including Google will display ApplyUp promotional material on other sites you visit across the Internet.
Google Analytics cookies help us distinguish between different users and understand how often a particular user may visit our Site, how the user got to our Site, and the user’s activity on our Site. Google developed two resources – How Google Uses Information from Sites or Apps that Use Our Services and Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on – to help provide website visitors more information and choice on how their data is collected when websites use Google services.
