Cookie Policy

Last updated: 4 October 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Pocket Deluxe (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and apps (the “Site”). By continuing to browse or by clicking “Accept” on our consent banner, you agree that we can store and access cookies as described below. You can change or withdraw consent at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer.

1) What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to remember information about you. They enable core functionality, help us understand site usage, and support advertising and performance measurement. We also use pixels, SDKs, and local storage which work similarly.

2) How we use cookies (categories)

  • Strictly Necessary, required for security, page navigation, session management, and your cookie preferences.
  • Performance & Analytics, to understand traffic, popular pages, time on page, and to fix errors (e.g., Google Analytics/GA4).
  • Functional, to remember choices such as saved jobs, region, or login state.
  • Advertising/Targeting, to deliver and measure ads, limit frequency, and build audiences (e.g., Google Ads/AdSense, Meta pixel).
  • Social Media, to enable sharing features and measure engagement with embedded content.

3) Examples of technologies we may use

  • Analytics: Google Analytics/GA4 (anonymous IDs, page views, events).
  • Ads/Monetization: Google Ads/AdSense (interest-based ads, frequency capping), third-party demand partners/ad exchanges.
  • Attribution: UTM parameters, referral tracking.
  • Social: share buttons and embedded posts that may set their own cookies.

The specific cookies set depend on the pages you visit and your consent choices.

4) Lawful bases

Where required by law, we rely on your consent for non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising). We rely on legitimate interests for strictly necessary cookies that keep the Site secure and functioning.

5) Managing your preferences

  • Consent Banner/Center: Use “Cookie Settings” to accept, reject, or fine-tune categories at any time.
  • Browser Controls: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. See help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or Opera.
  • Advertising Choices: You can opt out of interest-based ads via your Google Ad Settings or industry tools such as YourOnlineChoices (EU) or NAI/DAA (US). Opt-outs are browser/device-specific.

Blocking some cookies may impact features like login persistence, saved items, or recommendations.

6) Third-party cookies

Advertisers, analytics providers, and embedded services may set their own cookies and process data under their policies. We encourage you to review those providers’ notices. We do not control third-party cookies.

7) Data we may collect via cookies

  • Device info (browser type, OS, screen size), IP address (which may infer approximate location), referral source, pages viewed, time on page, clicks, and conversions related to job applications, scholarships, or other listings.
  • Pseudonymous identifiers to link sessions across pages and measure campaign effectiveness.

We do not use cookies to knowingly collect sensitive categories of personal data.

8) Retention

Cookie lifespans vary. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies typically last from 24 hours up to 24 months (or as shown in our consent tool). You can clear them earlier via browser settings.

9) Children’s data

Our Site is not intended for children under the age required by local law for consent to online services. If you believe a child has provided data through cookies, contact us and we will take appropriate action.

10) International transfers

Where third-party providers process cookie data outside your country, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., contractual clauses) as permitted by applicable law.

11) Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date will change. Material changes will be communicated via the Site or consent banner.
