This page explains how cookies and similar technologies are used when you visit the website. They are used in a practical and limited way to help the site work properly, remember certain settings, improve the reading experience, understand how visitors use pages, and measure the performance of content and features.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser or device and remember certain information for a period of time.
Not all cookies do the same job. A website needs some cookies to function properly. Other cookies remember your preferences, measure traffic, or show how readers move through the site. The website you are visiting sets some cookies, while third-party services used on that website may set others.
Therefore, this site uses cookies to support its basic operation and make it more useful over time, including by keeping pages working properly, remembering relevant settings, understanding which articles readers spend time on, measuring how visitors arrive at the site, and identifying technical issues that need attention.
Because content is published across categories such as Career, The Brief, Tools, and Startups, cookies can also help identify which parts of the site are proving most useful to readers. This helps improve structure, navigation, and editorial presentation.
The types of cookies we may use
We do not use cookies simply because they are available. We use them where they serve a clear operational, functional, or measurement purpose.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They may support page navigation, security, load balancing, consent settings, or other core features that keep the site stable and usable. Without these cookies, parts of the website may not work as expected.
Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use Rebruit. They show us which pages visitors read most often, how long they stay on a page, where they leave the site, and whether any part of the site is slow or not working properly.
This information helps us improve site performance, sharpen layout decisions, and understand which content is genuinely helpful.
Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies remember choices you make so the site can provide a more consistent experience. For example, they may remember a language setting, consent preference, or other site-level choice where relevant.
These cookies are not usually essential, but they can make the browsing experience smoother.
Advertising and affiliate-related cookies
Rebruit may sometimes use advertising, sponsorship, or affiliate arrangements to support the publication. In those cases, Rebruit may use cookies or similar technologies to measure referral activity, determine whether someone followed a link, or assess the performance of a campaign or placement.
These technologies help with reporting and attribution, particularly where affiliate links or third-party ad services are involved. They do not change our editorial standards.
First-party and third-party cookies
Rebruit places some cookies directly; these are first-party cookies. Other services that appear on or support the site place third-party cookies.
Third-party cookies may come from services such as analytics providers, embedded media platforms, advertising networks, affiliate platforms, or social media tools. For example, if a page includes a video, embedded post, or referral link, the provider behind that feature may set its own cookie or collect similar information through its own technology.
We do not control how third parties use cookies after they set them. The relevant third parties govern their use through their own policies.
How long are cookies stored on your device?
Some cookies are session cookies, which means they last only while your browser is open and are removed when you close it. Others are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose and the settings applied to it by the website or third-party service that placed it.
How can you manage cookies?
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, delete, or restrict cookies, either across all websites or for specific sites.
You may also be able to control certain cookie preferences through any consent tool or cookie banner presented on Rebruit, where applicable.
Please keep in mind that blocking or disabling some cookies may affect how the site works. Certain features may not function properly, some preferences may not be saved, and parts of the site may become less reliable or less personalised.
If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to adjust your settings on each one separately.
Analytics and measurement tools
Like many publishers, Rebruit may use analytics and measurement tools to understand how the site is being used and how it performs over time.
These tools help us see broad patterns, such as which articles are attracting interest, whether readers are reaching the pages they expect to, and whether the site loads well across different devices. This kind of measurement helps us improve design, technical performance, and editorial presentation.
We use this information to make the site better organised and easier to use, not to make the reading experience feel intrusive.
Embedded content and external features
Some pages on Rebruit may include content or features provided by other services, such as videos, social posts, interactive widgets, or externally hosted media. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver their content.
If you interact with that content, the third party may collect information in accordance with its own policies. This is one reason to check the privacy or cookie settings of any external platform you use regularly.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how Rebruit operates, the tools we use, legal requirements, or how cookies and similar technologies are handled on the site.
When we make meaningful changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Where appropriate, we may also provide notice on the site.
