Cookie Policy

We use “cookies” and other tracking technologies to collect information about you and your activity across our site and our communications with you.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data that our website stores on your computer, and accesses each time you visit, so we can understand how you use our website and the emails we send you. This helps us provide you content based on your previous activity and on preferences you have specified.

Cookies are used to enable certain features (e.g. logging in), to track how you interact and use the website (e.g. google analytics), to store your settings such as timezone, notification preferences and updates to your account, and to personalise your content to make sure it’s information you want / need.

Cookies set by our websites are normally referred to as “first-party cookies”, and typically only track your activity on our website.

Cookies set by other websites and companies (i.e. employers websites which you visit when you click apply) are called “third-party cookies”, and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.

Third-party access to information

We use third-party services for:

Analytics tracking, Advertising and Promotion, and Email marketing

These services only use our data for performing specific tasks on our behalf e.g. emailing you or letting us know if you left our website to apply for a role. We do not give them permission to disclose or use your our data for any other purpose.

Email Marketing

We use two third-party providers, Dotmailer and Instiller, to deliver our emails. We gather statistics around email opens and clicks using industry standard technologies including clear gifs to help us monitor and improve our email communications.

Analytics Tracking

When someone visits ratemyplacement.co.uk we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

We also make use of a third party service called Hotjar for recording heatmaps of where users click and scroll to on our site. Hotjar also allows us to ask visitors to answer polls and surveys when visiting our site. Hotjar will place cookies on your browser to ensure you aren’t show the same poll/survey multiple times if you have already completed or dismissed it. We do not expose any personally identifiable information to Hotjar.

Website Optimisation

We make use of a third party tool called Convert.com to optimise our website by A/B testing content and user journeys on our website. Convert.com will place cookies on to your browser to ensure you see the same version of an A/B test throughout the site. We do not expose any personally identifiable information to Convert.com.

Advertising and Promotion

Google Ads

We make use of a third party service called Google Ads to advertise our job listings and email alerts via adverts on Google Search results. We also use this tool for display marketing, which falls into either prospecting adverts (for those who have never been on our website) or retargeting adverts (for those who have been on ratemyplacement.co.uk before). Google Ads will place cookies on to your browser to identify what category you fall into, as well as to track if you have clicked one of our adverts. Any targeting is based solely on third party data acquired by Google, and is only open to us as aggregate data. We are not privy to your specific data. We also do not expose any of your own personally identifiable information to Google Ads.

Facebook and Instagram Tracking

We make use of Facebook’s Advertising suite in order to create adverts of our services, which are hosted on a variety of areas within Facebook, including its news feed, Instagram’s photo feed and Facebook Messenger. Facebook will place cookies on to your browser to track if you view or click one of our ads. Any targeting is based solely on any information you have given to Facebook, and is only open to us as aggregate data. We are not privy to your specific data. We also do not expose any of your own personally identifiable information to Facebook.

Push Notifications

We use a third party service called ‘OneSignal’ to send job vacancies via push notifications in browser – these push notifications are consent based. If you consent to receiving push notifications from ratemyplacement.co.uk none of your personal data is sent to OneSignal. When you consent to receiving push notifications you are assigned an anonymous unique identifier for the particular device that you are using; these unique identifiers are used to track your subscription to push notifications as well as us being able to track analytical data of the individual push notifications such as the number of clicks a push notification has received.

If you wish to opt-out of push notifications from ratemyplacement.co.uk you can do so following instructions found here.
