Last updated: 2 June 2026

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the site. Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period).

Career Club uses cookies and similar technologies including local storage for authentication and session management.

How to manage cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of Career Club — in particular, essential cookies are required for sign-in to work.

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Opting out of Google Analytics

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Do Not Track

Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Career Club currently does not alter its behaviour based on DNT signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for how DNT should be interpreted.

Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (EU Cookie Law) and UK PECR, we rely on:

  • Strict necessity for essential cookies required to provide the service
  • Consent for analytics cookies — by continuing to use Career Club after being informed of our cookie use, you consent to analytics cookies being set

You can withdraw consent for analytics cookies at any time by clearing your cookies in your browser settings.

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or change the cookies we use. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. For significant changes, we will provide notice via the website.
