Cookie Policy

1. What cookies and browser storage are

A cookie is a small piece of data a website can save in your browser and read back later. Browsers also offer sessionStorage, which is cleared when the tab closes, and localStorage and IndexedDB, which can last longer. Sites use them to make features work or to measure use.

2. What this site stores

jau-consent (localStorage) remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, and when, for 180 days, so the banner does not appear on every page. You will see the banner again after that period, if you clear your browser data, or if the saved choice cannot be read.

chunk_reload_at (sessionStorage) lets the site reload once, cleanly, after an update. It disappears when you close the tab and does not track you.

The 180-day period is our own choice for this site; we do not claim that Australian law sets it.

3. Analytics cookies, after you opt in

If you choose Accept all, Google Analytics may set _ga and _ga_<ID>, and Microsoft Clarity (where switched on) may set _clck and _clsk and use CLID and MUID on Microsoft domains. Depending on the provider and settings, Google’s cookies can last up to two years, _clck, CLID and MUID up to one year, and _clsk up to one day.

These cookie lifetimes do not lengthen the 180 days your choice is remembered. No analytics run on the staff administration pages. The Privacy Policy explains what is collected and why.

4. Staff sign-in

For authorised staff, Firebase Authentication may keep a signed-in session in IndexedDB or localStorage and remember the email used to sign in to administration. Visitors do not have accounts.

5. Fonts, videos and links

Google Fonts: to deliver the fonts, Google receives technical details such as your IP address and browser.

YouTube: thumbnails may load from i.ytimg.com. The youtube-nocookie.com player only loads when you press play, and Google’s terms then apply.

Links: WhatsApp, share buttons, government pages and Skills Assessment Australia, Build AI CV, Talent Tabloid, PractiseNow, Interview Training and Seasonal Jobs Australia have their own policies. Clicking a link does not send a message or post anything until you complete that action yourself.

6. Accepting, rejecting and changing your mind

The banner gives you two buttons, Accept all and Reject all. Analytics stay off until you accept, and rejecting them does not restrict the site.

Cookie settings in the footer reopens the banner. If you withdraw consent, the page reloads so the tools stop, and the analytics cookies this site can reach on its own domain are removed. Cookies set on other companies’ domains have to be cleared in your browser.

This choice is about analytics only. It is not consent to any other use or sharing of an application you send us.

7. Using your browser settings

Your browser lets you delete or block site data. If it blocks storage of your choice, the banner may keep coming back. Private windows clear data under the browser’s own rules. Google also offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics.

You can simply not play YouTube videos, and if Google Fonts cannot load, the site falls back to fonts on your device.

8. Changes and questions

If we add tools or use them for new purposes, we will update this page and follow any notice or consent rules that apply. For other information handling see the Privacy Policy, and send cookie questions to jobs@jobsabroad.com.au.
