Web Beacons
CareerBuilder UK web pages may contain electronic images known as web
beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that allow us to count users who
have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Web beacons are
not used to access your personally identifiable information on CareerBuilder UK and cannot
be used by third parties; they are a technique we use to compile aggregated
statistics about our web site usage.
Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie
number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which
the web beacon resides.
Because web beacons are the same as any other content request included
in the recipe page, you cannot opt out or refuse them. However, they can be rendered
ineffective by either opting out of cookies or changing the cookie setup in
your browser.
Microsoft Windows Live™ ID
In addition to the CareerBuilder.com sign-in, CareerBuilder.com offers the ability to sign in using Microsoft Windows Live ID service, which provides authentication for online sign in. When you sign in to this site using the Windows Live ID service you will be asked to provide your e-mail address and a password to sign you in. This same Windows Live ID sign-in allows you to access many other participating Windows Live ID Web sites.

About Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that track your on-line movements. At
CareerBuilder UK,
we use cookies only for the protection and convenience of our users. Cookies
enable us to serve secure pages to our users without asking them to sign in
repeatedly. If a user's system is idle for more than an hour, however, the
cookie will expire, forcing the user to sign in again to continue their session.
This helps to prevent unauthorized access to the user's information while they
are away from their computer. Your browser should tell you how to refuse all
cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent; however, some Site features
or services may not function properly without cookies.
Third-Party Cookies: In the course of serving advertisements to the Site,
our third-party advertisers may place or recognize a unique "cookie"
on your browser. CareerBuilder UK is not
responsible for such third party use of cookies.
Security for your Personal Information
CareerBuilder UK
has taken considerable steps to secure your personal information from
accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration or
disclosure. As part of this process, we
have encrypted all account and password data. In addition, we employ encryption for secure credit card transactions (Learn more about credit card security). Although
we have taken all reasonable steps, there is no such thing as infallible
security. Thus, we cannot guarantee that
your personal information will not be subject to unauthorised access.
