COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy is last updated on: 01 Sep 2020

At USR INFOTECH Solutions (hereafter sometimes referred to as “USR INFOTECH”, “Skills2Talent”, “OKR Stars”, “us”, or “our”) we believe in being transparent about how we collect and use data. This policy is designed to inform you about our use of cookies, local storage objects and similar technologies.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

1.1 Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).

1.2 Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

2. WHY DO WE USE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?

2.1 We use cookies for a number of different purposes;

To analyze the usage of our Products and Services.

To provide personalized experience for our website visitors.

To display relevant advertising to visitors who use our product or services or visit websites we host or provide, as well as to understand and report on the efficacy of ads served on our websites.

To collect information on how users interact with our websites, including what pages are visited most, as well as other analytical data. We use these details to improve how our websites function and to understand how users interact with them.

To store preferences set by users such as language, location or any other preferences so that you do not have to repeatedly make these choices when you visit one of our websites.

To identify and prevent potential security risks.

Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the CTA like “Download” or “Schedule Demo” button on a page or a post, for example). Many of the cookies we use are only set if you are a USR INFOTECH (Skills2Talent / OKR Stars) user (so you don’t have to log in every time, for example), while others are set whenever you visit one of our websites or landing pages.

3. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

3.1 First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website.

First-party cookies are cookies issued from the skills2talent.com domain that are generally used to identify language and location preferences or render basic site functionality.

Third-party cookies belong to and are managed by other parties, such as USR INFOTECH (Skills2Talent / OKR Stars) business partners or service providers. These cookies may be required to render certain forms, such as the submission of form, or to allow for some advertising outside of the USR INFOTECH (Skills2Talent / OKR Stars) website.

3.2 Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are used to remember you during the course of your visit to the website, and they expire when you close the web browser.

3.3 Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences within the website and remain on your desktop or mobile device even after you close your browser or restart your computer. We use these cookies to analyse user behavior to establish visit patterns so that we can improve our website functionality for you and others who visit our website(s). These cookies also allow us to serve you with targeted advertising and measure the effectiveness of our site functionality and advertising.

4. GOOGLE ANALYTICS

We use Google Analytics, which is a Google service that uses cookies and other data collection technologies to collect information about your use of the website and services in order to report website trends.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by visiting www.google.com/settings/ads or by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

5. HOW DO I REJECT AND DELETE COOKIES?

You can choose to reject or block all or specific types of cookies set by virtue of your visit to a USR INFOTECH (Skills2Talent / OKR Stars) website by clicking on the cookie preferences on our website(s). You can change your preferences for USR INFOTECH (Skills2Talent / OKR Stars) websites and/or the websites of any third party suppliers by changing your browser settings. Please note that most browsers automatically accept cookies. Therefore, if you do not wish cookies to be used, you may need to actively delete or block the cookies. If you reject the use of cookies, you will still be able to visit our websites but some of the functions may not work correctly. You may also visit www.allaboutcookies.org for details on how to delete or reject cookies and for further information on cookies generally. By using our website without deleting or rejecting some or all cookies, you agree that we can place those cookies that you have not deleted or rejected on your device.
