Other Information Collected
As you navigate and use the Website, certain information can be passively collected—that is, gathered without the user actively providing the information or being concurrently made aware of the collection of information—using various technologies. We passively collect a variety of types of information in a variety of ways, including:
-

IP Addresses and Related Data: The servers used to operate and provide the Website may collect data pertaining to you and the equipment, software, and communication methods you use to access the Internet and the Website, including Internet protocol (“IP”) addresses assigned to the computers and other devices from where you access the Internet, your Internet service provider (ISP), device ID numbers and unique identifiers, your media access control (MAC) address, your operating system, your computer screen resolution, your web browser type, the pages you access on the Website, the websites you access before and after visiting the Website, the length of time you spend on the Website, date and time stamps, clickstream data, your approximate geographic location, performance statistics, and usage data.

Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies as explained below under “Cookies and Tracking Technologies.”

This may include information such as the pages you visit, the websites you visit before and after using the Website, your IP address, and details about your device and browser. These analytics providers may set and read cookies or similar tracking technologies to collect this data, which is then used to help us understand user behavior, analyze trends, and improve the Website’s content and performance. For more information about how Google uses your data, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps. To opt out of data collection by Google Analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each browser you use.

-
Social Media: The Website may allow you to interact with and share content via social media platforms. To enable these features, we may incorporate cookies, plug-ins, or application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram. These platforms may collect information about your interactions with the Website, and any information you share with them is subject to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any social media platform you engage with in connection to our Website. Please be aware that PeopleWorks cannot control the data collection or privacy practices of third-party platforms, and any information or content you choose to share with those platforms is done at your own risk.

For example, by watching a video embedded from YouTube, certain usage data may be shared with YouTube in accordance with their privacy policies. YouTube adheres to Google’s privacy policies, which allow users to manage privacy settings and control what data is collected.
-
Information from Other Sources: We may receive additional information about Website users from third-party sources, including marketing partners, data providers, social media platforms, and publicly available sources. This information may be combined with data we collect directly to improve the accuracy of our records, enhance our understanding of our users, and improve our communications and services.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use “cookies” on the Website. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a Website visitor’s device by the visitor’s web browser. We use cookies to help us improve your access to the Website (for example, by remembering your contact and other information when you access or use the Website), to identify repeat visitors to the Website, to track how you access and use the Website, to learn when and how users visit the Website, to evaluate the popularity of pages or content, to understand which search terms are used to find the Website, to determine which websites refer visitors to our Website, to help display relevant content, and to enhance your overall experience using the Website.
The Website may use both cookies that we implement, and cookies implemented by our service providers and other third parties. “First-party” cookies allow your browser to communicate with the PeopleWorks Website directly, whereas “third-party” cookies allow your browser to interact with other websites or services, such as advertising networks or analytics providers. Additionally, cookies can either be “session” cookies or “persistent” cookies. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are typically deleted once you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (e.g., six months or one year) and allow your browser to be recognized when you return to the Website.
Our service providers may use cookies and related tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, to track Website visitors across the Internet, to understand how you arrived at the Website, and for the analytics purposes described in this Privacy Notice. We do not control these third-party cookies, and this Privacy Notice does not govern the practices of third parties.
The types of information collected through cookies—and the purposes for which that information is used—depend on the type of cookie being used. Below is a description of the primary categories of cookies that may be in use on our Website:
-
-
Operationally necessary cookies (also called essential cookies): These cookies are required for the operation of the Website. They help detect irregular behavior, prevent fraudulent activity, and maintain website security. These cookies also enable you to use certain features and access secure areas. Without them, core services and features would not be available.
-
Functional cookies: These cookies support enhanced functionality and personalization. For example, they may remember your preferences or choices, such as your settings or previously visited pages. They may also enable social media features and prevent repetitive prompts. Disabling functional cookies may impact your ability to use certain features on the Website.
-
Performance cookies (also called analytical cookies): These cookies help us understand how visitors use and interact with the Website, such as which pages are visited most often or how users navigate the site. This helps us improve the Website’s design and functionality and deliver a more personalized user experience.
-
Advertising or targeted cookies: These cookies collect information about your browsing behavior and help deliver advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. PeopleWorks and its third-party partners may use this information to serve interest-based or behavioral advertising. These cookies also help limit how often you see an ad and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. To learn more about interest-based advertising or to opt out of certain uses, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance, the Network Advertising Initiative, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) Europe, www.allaboutcookies.org, or www.youronlinechoices.com.
-
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you may choose to disable or limit cookies through your browser’s settings. Browser options vary, but generally allow you to:
-
-
Block or restrict cookies from specific websites;
-
Disable all cookies entirely;
-
Delete existing cookies from your device; or
-
Be notified when a cookie is sent to your browser.
-
Please note that disabling cookies may affect your experience on the Website. Certain features may not function properly, and the Website may not remember your preferences or previously entered information. Also, changes made to cookie settings in one browser or device may not apply to others.
The Website may also use other tracking technologies, such as web beacons (also known as clear GIFs), flash cookies, and pixels (also called pixel tags). Web beacons are small graphics embedded invisibly on pages that track user activity, similar to cookies. Flash cookies are typically used in multimedia applications and can store information about your interaction with videos or animations. Pixel tags may be used within the Website or in emails to track how users engage with content or determine when messages are opened.
How We Respond to Do-Not-Track Signals
Due to the automatic collection of data using cookies and similar technologies, we do not respond to or honor “Do Not Track” requests sent from your browser. As a result, enabling the “Do Not Track” setting in your browser may not have any effect on the data we collect through cookies.
