FIFO Careers Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how FIFO Careers (“FIFO Careers”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on fifocareers.com.au and its related services (the “Site”).

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. Cookies allow websites to recognise a browser, remember settings, maintain sessions, measure usage and provide relevant content or advertising.

We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, web beacons, local storage, software development tools and device or browser identifiers. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.

Cookies may be:

• First-party cookies: Set directly by FIFO Careers.

• Third-party cookies: Set by another organisation whose services appear on or support the Site.

• Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.

• Persistent cookies: Remain until they expire or are deleted.

2. Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are required for the Site to operate securely and correctly. They may be used to:

• Authenticate users and maintain signed-in sessions.

• Protect accounts and prevent fraudulent activity.

• Maintain security and load balancing.

• Remember privacy and cookie-consent choices.

• Enable job applications, account settings and other requested features.

Because these cookies are necessary to provide the Site, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie controls. You can block them through your browser, but parts of the Site may stop working.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies remember choices such as:

• Display and interface settings.

• Search and filter preferences.

• Previously selected options.

• Language or regional preferences where available.

Disabling these cookies may cause preferences to be lost between visits.

Analytics and performance cookies

Where enabled, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site. They may collect information about:

• Pages viewed and links selected.

• Time spent on pages.

• Referring websites.

• Browser and device type.

• Approximate location derived from an IP address.

• Errors and Site performance.

We use this information to measure traffic, understand usage patterns and improve Site performance. Analytics data may be aggregated or associated with a browser or device identifier.

Advertising cookies

When advertising is enabled, FIFO Careers uses Google AdSense and may use other advertising providers to display and measure advertisements.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or similar identifiers to:

• Serve advertisements on the Site.

• Select advertisements based on Site content.

• Personalise advertisements where permitted.

• Measure advertising performance.

• Limit how often an advertisement is shown.

• Detect invalid traffic, fraud and abuse.

• Produce aggregated advertising reports.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve advertisements based on a visitor’s previous visits to this Site and other websites.

Depending on your location, consent choices and our advertising settings, advertisements may be:

• Personalised advertisements, selected using information about previous online activity.

• Non-personalised advertisements, selected primarily using contextual information such as the content being viewed and general location.

• Limited advertisements, which use restricted data-processing and storage where applicable.

Non-personalised and limited advertisements may still require cookies or similar technologies for security, fraud prevention, frequency control and aggregated measurement.

3. Google and third-party advertising

Google may set or access cookies associated with domains such as google.com or doubleclick.net when Google advertising services are used.

You can:

• Manage personalised Google advertising through Google Ads Settings.

• Learn how Google uses information from partner websites through How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

• Review Google’s advertising technology information through Google’s advertising policies and technologies.

• Find additional advertising opt-out options through YourAdChoices or Your Online Choices.

Other advertising vendors and networks may use their own cookies. Where applicable, our consent-management interface identifies the participating vendors and provides information about their purposes and retention periods.

Opting out of personalised advertising does not remove all advertising.

4. Consent and cookie choices

Where required by applicable law, we request consent before activating non-essential cookies, including certain analytics and advertising cookies.

When our cookie-consent interface is available, you can use it to:

• Accept all optional cookies.

• Reject optional cookies.

• Select permitted cookie categories.

• Review participating advertising vendors.

• Change or withdraw a previous choice.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

Your consent choice may be stored in an essential cookie so that the Site can remember it. You may need to choose again if you delete cookies, change browsers or use another device.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland may be shown a consent interface provided through a Google-certified consent-management platform.

5. Managing cookies through your browser

Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies. Browser controls vary by version and device.

Common locations include:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies

• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

• Safari: Settings or Preferences → Privacy

• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Blocking cookies may prevent account login, saved preferences, applications or other Site features from working correctly.

Browser settings operate separately from advertising opt-outs and our Site consent controls. You may need to use more than one control to fully manage your preferences.

6. Cookie duration

Cookie duration depends on its purpose and provider:

• Session cookies normally expire when the browser is closed.

• Authentication and security cookies may remain for the duration needed to maintain an account or secure the Site.

• Preference cookies may remain until they expire or are deleted.

• Analytics and advertising cookies use retention periods established by the relevant provider and our configuration.

• Consent records may be retained so we can remember and demonstrate your privacy choices.

Current vendor names, purposes and retention periods should be displayed through our cookie-consent interface where available.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our technology, providers, advertising services or legal obligations change.

The updated policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the Site or cookie-consent interface.
