Ryzer Recruit—as well as the Ryzer Data Sources that provide content and other functionality on the Services—may use a variety of technologies to learn more about how people use the Services and the Internet. This section provides more information about some of those technologies and how they work.
Cookies. Cookies are small text files that websites and other online services use to store information about users on the users’ own computers. For example, cookies can be used to store your sign-in credentials so that you do not have to enter them each time you return to a website. Cookies also may be used to store a unique identification number tied to your computer so that a website can recognize you as the same user across different visits to the website. You can configure your Internet browser to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely.
Ryzer Recruit and the Ryzer Data Sources that provide content or functionality on the Services may use cookies to:
Collect information about your browsing activities in order to provide you with more relevant content and ads off the Services; and
Relate the information automatically collected when you use the Services to information we obtain from you directly or from commercially available sources.
Other local storage. We, along with third-party partners, may use other kinds of local storage, such as Local Shared Objects (also referred to as "Flash cookies") and HTML5 local storage, in connection with the Services. These technologies are similar to the cookies discussed above in that they are stored on your computer and can be used to store certain information about your activities and preferences. These objects are stored in different parts of your computer from ordinary browser cookies, however. Many Internet browsers allow you to disable HTML5 local storage or delete information contained in HTML5 local storage using browser controls.
Web beacons. We, along with our third-party partners, may also use technologies called Web beacons that communicate information from your Internet browser to a web server. Web beacons can be embedded in web pages, videos, or emails, and can allow a web server to read certain types of information from your browser, check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which you viewed the Web beacon, the IP address of your computer, and the URL of the web page from which the Web beacon was viewed. We and our partners use Web beacons for a variety of purposes, including analyzing the use of the Services and in conjunction with cookies to provide content and ads that are more relevant to you.

Our Services may contain links or references to third-party owned and/or operated websites or content that we believe might be of interest to users, including websites of our partners, sponsors, advertisers, and affiliates.

This Policy does not apply to information that you provide to third parties including the Ryzer Data Sources, such as other account holders or partners, and others with whom you may share information. Our Services may direct you to a third-party service, such as social media services, or a portion of our Services may be controlled by a third party (typically through the use of a frame or pop-up window separate from other content on our Services). Disclosure of information to these third parties is subject to the relevant third party’s privacy policy. We are not responsible for the third-party privacy policy or content, even if we link to those services from our Services or if we share information with these third parties.
