Reeljobs uses cookies and scripts in respect of our Advertised Partners to assist Reeljobs in improving website performance, making business decisions, aiding in error reporting and testing new functionality. These cookies and scripts collect non-personal information such as preferences and click activity for measurement and for Site features.

In addition to the above, where users access the Reeljobs mobile applications ("Reeljobs Apps") we use third party software development kits (SDK’s) and services which collect non personal information relating to your use of the Reeljobs Apps, including tracking of app installs and re-engagement.

If you want to opt-out from the collection and usage of information for advertisement targeting you can do so by enabling “Limit Ad Tracking” (Settings>Privacy>Advertising) on your iOS device or by enabling the “Opting out of interest-based ads” option (Settings>Services>Ads) on your Android device. By opting out from ad targeting Reeljobs and its third party providers will not use the collected information to target ads to you, however the information collected may continue to be used by Reeljobs for, amongst other things, estimation of user numbers, advertising fraud detection and debugging.
