Some cookies are set by the website you visit, while others may be set by external services integrated into the website.

3. Categories of Cookies

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

They may be required for employers to sign into their accounts, submit vacancies and manage job advertisements.

Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent where an exemption applies under Irish law.

Where a functional cookie is not strictly necessary, we will request consent before using it.

If analytics cookies are enabled, they will be subject to appropriate consent requirements.

4. WordPress and Employer Account Cookies

Care Jobs Ireland uses WordPress and WP Job Manager to provide website functionality and employer account features.

WordPress may set cookies for logged-in users and for login-related functions. Examples of standard WordPress cookies are shown below.

Not every visitor will receive all of these cookies. Some are used only when logging into an account or accessing WordPress administration features.

5. Hosting, Security and Third-Party Services

Employers may create accounts to advertise and manage job listings.

Cookies may be necessary for maintaining authenticated sessions and allowing account-related functions to operate securely.

External websites may use their own cookies and tracking technologies, which are governed by their respective policies.

7. Cookie Consent

Where cookies or similar technologies require consent, visitors should be offered a clear choice before those technologies are used.
