Cookie Policy
Last Updated: September 23, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how BeCareers ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies can be "Persistent" or "Session" cookies. Persistent Cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while Session Cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
2. General principles of data collection
We process your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Our principles of data collection are based on transparency, fairness, and lawfulness. We only collect personal data that is strictly necessary for the performance of our services, and we ensure that it is kept secure and confidential.
3. Cookies and similar technologies we use
We use the following cookies, confirmed by a direct scan of this website on 23 September 2026 - this list reflects what is actually set, not a generic template:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as staying logged in.
| Name | Provider / Domain | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | becareers.co.uk | Preserves your logged-in session state across page requests | Session |
Exact cookie name not yet confirmed - session cookies are typically set with the httpOnly flag, which is invisible to a browser-side scan like the one used to verify the rest of this table.
Analytics cookies
These cookies collect information about how you use the website, such as which pages you visited. Delivered via Google Tag Manager (container GTM-TXGJFJCL).
| Name | Provider / Domain | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | google.com (via GTM-TXGJFJCL) | Distinguishes unique visitors (Google Analytics 4) | 2 years |
| _ga_3R1E1VDVZQ | google.com (via GTM-TXGJFJCL) | Persists session state for this specific GA4 property | 2 years |
Not yet gated by consent - a consent banner matching getmehired.uk's is planned; see the notice above. No Facebook pixel, no legacy Universal Analytics (_gid/_gat) cookie, and no advertising cookie of any kind were found, despite earlier versions of this policy listing them.
4. Purposes of processing personal data
We use your personal data to operate, provide, and improve our services. Our purposes for using personal data include: to provide and maintain our Service; to notify you about changes to our Service; to allow you to participate in interactive features of our Service; to provide customer support; to gather analysis or valuable information so that we can improve our Service; to monitor the usage of our Service; and to detect, prevent and address technical issues.
5. Legal bases for processing your personal data
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this policy depends on the personal data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.
Consent. We rely on consent for non-essential cookies such as analytics, where required by law. We are adding a cookie consent banner to this site (matching the one already live on getmehired.uk) so this is asked before analytics cookies are set, not assumed.
Contractual necessity. Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may process your personal data to fulfil the terms of our contract.
Legitimate interests. We may process your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests.
Legal obligation. We may process your data where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
6. Third-party access and data transfers
Analytics data collected via Google Tag Manager is shared with Google as the analytics provider. We do not share cookie data with advertising or social media platforms - none are currently integrated on this site. We may also share data with hosting providers, payment processors, or public authorities where legally required.
7. Data retention
Cookie data is retained for the periods stated in the table above. We will retain other personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Cookie Policy, or to comply with our legal obligations.
8. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data: right to access; right to rectification; right to erasure; right to restrict processing; right to object to processing; and right to data portability.
9. Contact information
If you have any questions or comments about this policy, you may email us at dpo@becareers.co.uk.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
