1. Overview
This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how JobsBloom, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("JobsBloom," "we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies, web beacons, pixels, software development kits, local storage, and similar tracking technologies (collectively, "Cookies") on the website located at jobsbloom.com and any related applications (collectively, the "Services"). This Policy supplements, and is incorporated by reference into, our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify Cookies into the following four categories, consistent with industry standards and applicable consumer-protection guidance issued under the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, O.C.G.A. § 10-1-390 et seq.:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies. Required for the operation of the Services, including authentication, session management, load balancing, fraud prevention, and security. These Cookies cannot be disabled through our consent banner because the Services will not function properly without them.
- Functional Cookies. Enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferred language, time zone, pronouns, and accessibility settings. Disabling these may impair certain features.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies. Collect aggregated, statistical information about how Users interact with the Services so that we can measure and improve performance. These Cookies do not directly identify any individual.
- Targeting and Advertising Cookies. Used, where applicable, to deliver content and limited advertising relevant to your interests on the Services and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. JobsBloom does not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising for monetary consideration.

5. Third-Party Cookies
Certain Cookies are set by third-party service providers acting as our processors, including but not limited to authentication, analytics, payment processing, and customer support vendors. These providers may, subject to their respective privacy policies, process information about your interactions with the Services. We do not control the cookies set by third parties and disclaim responsibility for their practices.
6. Consent and Choices
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential Cookies on your device. You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time through the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of the Services. You may also control Cookies through your browser settings:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data;
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data;
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data;
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
Please note that disabling Cookies, particularly Strictly Necessary Cookies, may impair the functionality of the Services.
7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Certain browsers transmit "Do Not Track" ("DNT") or Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signals. Because no single industry standard for DNT has been adopted, JobsBloom currently does not respond to DNT signals. However, where required by law, JobsBloom will treat a recognized GPC signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
8. Children
The Services are not directed to children under the age of sixteen (16). Consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501-6506, we do not knowingly place Cookies on the devices of children under thirteen (13) without verifiable parental consent.
9. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Services or by email, and the Effective Date above will be updated accordingly. Your continued use of the Services after such notice constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
