Cookie Notice

You can choose whether we may use optional cookies and similar technologies. Your choice can be changed at any time using the Cookie Settings control.

This notice explains how Vertage and relevant companies in Vertage use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our websites, use our applications, access candidate or workforce platforms, complete forms or interact with digital content. It should be read with our Global Privacy Notice at https://www.vertage.com/privacy-notice. That notice explains how we use personal data obtained through websites and other services, our legal bases, recipients, international transfers, retention and your rights.

The controller responsible for this website is Vertage, company number 15289165, registered address First Floor, Mulberry House, Parkland Square, 750 Capability Green, Luton, England, LU1 3LU. Other Vertage companies may receive or use information as described in the Global Privacy Notice at https://www.vertage.com/privacy-notice.

Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on, or accessed from, a computer, phone, tablet or other device. We may also use pixels, local or session storage, tags, scripts, software development kits, device identifiers, link tracking and similar technologies. In this notice, “cookies” includes these technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

Start with the summary above and open the dropdown that matches the category you want to understand. Each dropdown should identify the relevant technology or provider, purpose, data involved, duration and whether it is first party or third party. The live Cookie Settings panel should show the definitive inventory present on the relevant website.

When required, we ask for your choice before using optional technologies. You may accept all, reject optional technologies or select categories. Withdrawing consent or changing a preference should be as easy as giving it.

• Use Cookie Settings to review or change your choices.
• Browser or device controls may delete or block cookies, but may not control every similar technology.
• Clearing cookies can remove stored preferences and cause the banner to reappear.
• Where an applicable exemption permits use without consent but requires a simple objection mechanism, the website must provide that mechanism.
• If a technology changes purpose, provider or data use, we will reassess classification and request a fresh choice where required.

The rule governing storage of, or access to, information on a device is separate from the data-protection legal basis for any subsequent processing of personal data. Depending on the activity and jurisdiction, our data-protection legal basis may include consent, legitimate interests, contract, legal obligation or another basis permitted by law. In the UK, PECR applies alongside the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, as amended. In the EEA and other countries, different ePrivacy, communications, tracking and privacy requirements may apply. Regional settings and supplements should be used where necessary.

Information obtained through cookies may be shared with Vertage companies and approved providers supporting hosting, security, analytics, CRM, marketing, recruitment platforms, workforce systems, embedded content and professional services. Some providers act only on our instructions, while others may determine their own purposes. Where another controller is involved, its privacy information should be made available.

Some providers or group companies may process information outside the country in which you use the website. Where transfer restrictions apply, we use an appropriate mechanism and supplementary measures as described in our Global Privacy Notice at https://www.vertage.com/privacy-notice.

Cookie duration varies by purpose. Session cookies normally expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry or deletion. Consent and preference records may be retained for up to 12 months to administer choices and demonstrate compliance. Information transferred into another system is retained under the relevant business-record period in our retention schedule.

Where information collected through cookies is personal data, you may have rights under applicable privacy law. Further information appears in our Global Privacy Notice at https://www.vertage.com/privacy-notice.

We may update this notice when our websites, applications, providers, technologies, legal obligations or configurations change. We will update the date above and provide additional notice or seek a fresh choice where required.
