Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. NewGenJobs uses cookies and similar local storage technologies to operate the platform and to serve contextual advertisements.
Session cookies (essential)
These keep you logged in while you browse the platform. Without these cookies, you would need to log in on every page. They are deleted when you close your browser.
Authentication cookies (essential)
Set by NextAuth.js to securely manage your login session. These contain an encrypted token and no personal data is readable from them.
Preference cookies (functional)
Used to remember your search filters, province preferences, and UI settings across visits.
Google AdSense cookies (advertising)
NewGenJobs displays advertisements served by Google AdSense only after you accept optional cookies. Google may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses and similar identifiers for ad delivery, measurement, frequency capping and fraud prevention. Google may also use cookies to serve ads based on visits to this and other websites. You may opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings.
Analytics cookies (performance)
We use anonymised analytics to understand how visitors use the platform so we can improve it. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.
Security and traffic-integrity identifier (essential)
We keep a short session identifier and a one-way browser identifier to detect automated traffic, repeated ad clicks and abuse. We do not store the raw browser signals used to generate it, and we do not use it for advertising profiles.
Google AdSense and Google Analytics may set cookies on your device. These are third-party cookies governed by Google's own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. NewGenJobs does not control these cookies and is not responsible for them.
Google explains how it uses data when you use partner sites or apps.
Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or to delete cookies that have already been set. The method for doing this varies from browser to browser. Note that if you disable essential cookies, parts of NewGenJobs will not function correctly, including your login session.
To opt out of Google's use of cookies for advertising, visit adssettings.google.com.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of NewGenJobs after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
