Why We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies described above to recognize your logged-in state on the Site, to understand what purchases members and visitors are interested in, to make our Site function for you, and to help your browsing experience and use of the Site and Services feel more customized, as further described:
- Strictly necessary. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Site. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our Site, use a shopping cart, or make use of e-billing services.
- Functionality. These are used to recognize you when you return to our Site. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
- Analytical/performance. They allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Google Analytics: The Site also uses Google Analytics to help understand how our Service is used by its community. For some of the advertising features listed below, like retargeting, data from Google Analytics may be combined with our first-party data and third-party cookies (like Google’s advertising cookies). See here for how Google uses data when you use our Service and how you may opt-out (www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/).
- Other Analytics Providers. We also use other third-party analytics services, including LinkedIn Analytics, Sift Science, Segment, and New Relic. We use these analytics providers to help understand the use of the Service. These analytics services collect the information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, including cookies and your IP address, and their use of this information is governed by their privacy policies. You can find links to their privacy policies below, in the “Managing Cookies Technologies” section.
- Social Networks. These are used to enable you to interact with third-party social networks when logged into our Site (subject to any preferences you set with those third parties).

- Targeting and Marketing. Although we do not serve third-party advertising on our Site, we do work with third parties to target advertising for our Site on third-party websites. These cookies record your visit to our Site, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Site more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose. These third-party service providers may use various cookies and similar technology to permit them and us to show you ads on third-party websites. These may include things such as:
- Frequency capping, which limits the number of times a user’s browser or mobile device displays the same ad;
- Attribution tracking, which estimates what advertising or marketing source brought someone to our Site, or determines what marketing source led to actions like a visit or a purchase;
- Remarketing, which shows relevant ads to an audience based on prior shopping and browsing patterns on our Site;
- Audience targeting, which refers to targeting advertisements to a large audience based on the audience’s known or inferred demographics; and
- Cross-device recognition, which recognizes actions across multiple devices or browsers.
Some third-party service providers may provide information like demographics, cross-device information, or interest categories from a combination of sources that, while not identifying you personally, permit us to provide you with more relevant and useful advertising. In some cases, this information may have non-marketing performance analytics uses as well. These technologies allow a partner to recognize your computer or mobile device each time you visit our Site or other websites and mobile applications based on data like a cookie, your IP address, or device ID but do not allow access to other personal information from our Site. However, these technologies may allow us or a third party to recognize you, either from a single device or across devices, over time. These third parties are required to follow applicable laws, self-regulatory programs, and our data protection rules where applicable. However, Resumeway does not have control over these third parties, who each have their privacy policies and privacy practices.
