Introduction

Virtual Recruitment Solutions ("VRS", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to support the operation, functionality, performance, security, and effectiveness of our website and digital services.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how they are used, the types of cookies that may be placed on your device, how third parties may use cookies in connection with our website, and the choices available to you regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies.

This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, Data Protection Policy, Terms of Use, and other relevant policies available through our Legal Centre.

By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used in accordance with this Policy and any consent preferences you have selected.

   
Clause II

Scope of this Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to the VRS website, associated landing pages, forms, portals, resources, marketing pages, downloadable content, embedded media, communication tools, booking systems, analytics tools, and other digital services operated by or on behalf of VRS.

The Policy applies regardless of the device, browser, operating system, or technology used to access our website.

Certain third-party platforms linked to or integrated with our website may operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, and users should review those policies where appropriate.

   
Clause III

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user's device when visiting a website. Cookies allow websites and related technologies to recognise devices, remember preferences, maintain sessions, support security controls, improve functionality, analyse usage patterns, personalise content, and measure the effectiveness of website activities.

Cookies may be stored temporarily for the duration of a browsing session or may remain on a device for a longer period depending on their purpose and configuration. Cookies themselves generally do not contain information that directly identifies an individual, although information collected through cookies may sometimes be linked with other information held by VRS or authorised third-party providers.


   
Clause IV

Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, VRS may use related technologies including pixels, web beacons, tags, scripts, software development kits (SDKs), tracking URLs, local storage technologies, session identifiers, browser storage mechanisms, embedded content technologies, and analytics tools.

These technologies perform functions similar to cookies and may assist with website functionality, security, analytics, marketing activities, conversion tracking, user experience improvements, and performance monitoring. References to cookies within this Policy should be interpreted as including similar technologies where applicable.

   
Clause V

Why We Use Cookies

VRS uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve its website and digital services. Cookies may be used to support website functionality, maintain security, remember user preferences, improve navigation, support form submissions, enable booking functionality, understand visitor behaviour, measure website performance, identify technical issues, improve user experience, analyse website traffic, evaluate marketing activities, support business development efforts, and improve the relevance of content presented to visitors. Cookies may also assist VRS in understanding how visitors interact with our website so that we can improve content, optimise functionality, and enhance the overall user experience.

    
Clause VI

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Certain cookies are essential for the operation of the website. These cookies support core website functions such as page navigation, security controls, consent management, session management, form functionality, fraud prevention, load balancing, website stability, and access to essential services.

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website, they may be used without requiring additional consent where permitted by applicable law. Disabling these cookies may impact the availability or functionality of certain website features.

   
Clause VII

Performance and Analytics Cookies

VRS may use performance and analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These technologies may collect information relating to website visits, pages viewed, user journeys, referral sources, engagement patterns, website performance, browser characteristics, device information, and general usage trends.

Analytics information assists VRS in improving website performance, identifying usability issues, understanding visitor interests, and enhancing content and functionality. Where required by law, performance and analytics cookies will only be activated following appropriate consent.

   
Clause VIII

Functionality and Preference Cookies

Functionality cookies allow websites to remember choices and preferences made by users. These cookies may remember language preferences, form preferences, consent settings, geographic preferences, accessibility settings, or other customisations that improve the browsing experience. Such cookies help provide a more personalised experience and reduce the need for users to repeatedly enter information or adjust settings during future visits.


   
Clause IX

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

VRS may utilise marketing, advertising, retargeting, conversion tracking, and campaign measurement technologies to better understand the effectiveness of marketing activities. These technologies may track interactions with website content, forms, downloadable resources, advertisements, social media campaigns, email communications, and other marketing initiatives.

Marketing cookies may be used to measure campaign performance, understand visitor interests, improve audience targeting, and deliver more relevant content across digital channels. Where required by law, marketing cookies will only be activated following appropriate consent.

   
Clause X

Third-Party Cookies and Technologies

The VRS website may integrate with third-party platforms, technologies, applications, embedded services, communication tools, booking systems, customer relationship management systems, analytics providers, video hosting platforms, social media platforms, and marketing technologies.

Examples may include website analytics providers, customer relationship management platforms, meeting scheduling tools, embedded video providers, social media integrations, advertising networks, marketing automation platforms, cloud service providers, and related technologies. These providers may place cookies or utilise similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies and cookie practices.

VRS does not control third-party cookie technologies and encourages users to review the privacy documentation of relevant providers.

   
Clause XI

Consent and Cookie Preferences

Where required by applicable law, VRS will seek consent before placing non-essential cookies or activating non-essential tracking technologies. Users may be provided with options to accept, reject, customise, or manage certain categories of cookies through consent management tools available on the website.

Consent preferences may be updated or withdrawn at any time through available cookie preference mechanisms where provided. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

   
Clause XII

Managing Cookies Through Browser Settings

Most web browsers provide functionality allowing users to manage, restrict, block, or delete cookies. Users may configure browser settings to reject cookies, notify them when cookies are being placed, delete existing cookies, or limit tracking technologies.

Because browsers operate differently, users should consult their browser documentation for instructions regarding cookie management. Please note that disabling cookies may impact website functionality, reduce user experience quality, and prevent certain features from operating correctly.


   
Clause XIII

International Data Collection and Processing

Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be processed, stored, analysed, or transferred across multiple jurisdictions. This may occur because VRS utilises international service providers, cloud infrastructure providers, analytics platforms, communication systems, customer relationship management technologies, and marketing tools.

Where such processing occurs, VRS seeks to implement appropriate safeguards and work with providers that maintain suitable privacy, security, and compliance standards. Additional information regarding international data handling is available in our Privacy Policy.

   
Clause XIV

Changes to this Cookie Policy

VRS may review, update, amend, replace, or modify this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, regulatory guidance, technology developments, website functionality, business operations, or cookie practices.

The latest version of this Policy will be published on the VRS website together with the applicable effective date. Continued use of the website following publication of an updated Policy constitutes acknowledgement of the revised version.
