Cookie policy

1. About this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Jobs Classified Malta™ uses cookies and similar technologies.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Questions about our use of cookies may be submitted through the Contact page at /contact.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.

Cookies may be used to:

• keep a User signed in;

• remember settings;

• protect forms and accounts;

• maintain website security;

• understand how a website is used; or

• provide advertising and other optional functionality.

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

3. Cookies we use

Jobs Classified Malta™ uses a small number of cookies that are strictly necessary for the Platform to function.

These may include:

Sign-in cookie

This cookie keeps you signed in while you use your account and allows the Platform to recognise your authenticated session.

Without this cookie, account and sign-in functionality would not operate correctly.

Security and form-protection cookie

This cookie helps protect forms, accounts and Platform functions against abuse, forgery, automated submissions and other malicious activity.

It may be used to verify that requests submitted through the Platform are legitimate.

4. Why consent is not requested for these cookies

The cookies described above are strictly necessary to provide the Platform and services requested by the User.

They are not used for advertising, cross-site tracking or behavioural profiling.

Because the Platform cannot provide the relevant account, session or security functionality without them, these cookies may be used without requesting consent, as permitted by applicable law.

5. Analytics

Our analytics are designed to operate without cookies and without tracking identifiable individuals across different websites.

We may collect aggregated or non-identifying information such as:

• page views;

• general traffic volumes;

• referring pages;

• browser or device categories;

• approximate geographic information;

• error information; and

• general Platform-performance statistics.

This information is used to understand Platform usage, identify technical problems and improve Jobs Classified Malta™.

Our cookieless analytics are not intended to create individual advertising profiles or follow Users across unrelated websites.

Because our current analytics do not place non-essential cookies on your device, no cookie-consent banner is shown solely for analytics.

6. Future use of optional cookies

We may introduce optional cookies or similar technologies in the future, including for:

• cookie-based analytics;

• advertising;

• campaign measurement;

• personalisation;

• embedded third-party media; or

• other non-essential functionality.

Where consent is legally required:

• optional cookies will not be loaded before consent is given;

• accepting optional cookies will not be required to use essential Platform functions;

• rejecting optional cookies will be as easy as accepting them;

• consent choices will be clearly presented;

• consent may be withdrawn or changed; and

• this Cookie Policy will be updated to identify the relevant cookies and providers.

7. Third-party content

Some Platform pages may contain links to third-party websites.

Following a link to another website may allow that third party to use its own cookies or similar technologies.

Jobs Classified Malta™ does not control cookies placed by independent third-party websites. Their use is governed by the third party’s own cookie and privacy policies.

If embedded third-party content is introduced, any non-essential cookies associated with that content will be blocked until consent is provided where required by law.

8. Managing cookies through your browser

Most browsers allow you to:

• view stored cookies;

• delete cookies;

• block all cookies;

• block cookies from particular websites; or

• configure how cookies are handled.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Platform from functioning correctly. For example, you may be unable to remain signed in or submit protected forms.

Browser controls vary. Refer to your browser’s help or privacy settings for instructions.

9. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in:

• the cookies or technologies we use;

• Platform functionality;

• analytics arrangements;

• third-party services;

• applicable law; or

• regulatory guidance.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
