Rare Recruitment Ltd ("we") are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
This policy explains how we use "cookies" or similar technologies on our websites listed in our Privacy Policy (“Websites”).
When you first access our Websites from certain jurisdictions, you will receive a message advising you that cookies and similar technologies are in use. By clicking “Accept all” you signify that you understand and agree to the use of these technologies, as described in this policy. In certain jurisdictions where you do not receive a message, your use of our Websites will be deemed to be your consent to the placement of cookies on your computer or other devices.
You do not have to accept cookies and consent can be withdrawn at any time (see How to Control Cookies, below). If you prefer not to receive cookies through our Websites, you can set your browser to either reject all or some cookies. If you decide not to receive cookies through our Websites, then your use of our Websites may not be as efficient as otherwise would be the case if cookies were enabled, and some parts of our Websites may not work at all.
Cookies are small files containing a string of characters that we may store on your computer or mobile device when you access our Websites. When you access our Websites again, the cookies allow us to recognise your browser. Cookies may store your preferences and other information but cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.
Cookies set by a website owner (in this case, Rare Recruitment) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than a website owner are called “third-party cookies”.

Cookies which expire and are automatically erased when you close your browser window are called “session cookies”. We use session cookies to grant our users access to content and for security purposes. Cookies which have an expiration date in the distant future and remain in your browser until they expire, or you manually delete them are called “persistent cookies”. We may use persistent cookies to better understand usage patterns so we can improve our Websites for users.
Cookies make the use of our Websites easier by, among other things, saving your preferences. Our cookies may enable us to relate your use of our Websites to personal data that you previously provided.

As well as cookies, we use other technologies to recognize and track your use of our Websites. A web beacon (also known as a “tracking pixel” or “clear GIF”) is a clear graphic image (typically a one-pixel tag) that is delivered through a web browser or HTML e-mail, typically in conjunction with a cookie.
Web beacons allows us, for example, to monitor how users move from one page within our Websites to another, to track access to our communications, to understand whether users have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to measure how ads have been viewed and to improve site performance.
Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and service that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements.
Any changes we may make to this policy in the future will be posted on this page. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to this policy.
