Recruitment Site Cookie Notice
Effective: October 31, 2023
This Recruitment Cookie Notice explains how Workday, a group of companies with offices all over the world uses cookies and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) to support its own recruitment activities using the Workday Recruiting platform (“Platform”). It explains what Cookies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control their use.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website, mobile application, or other digital properties . Digital property owners can use Cookies for a variety of reasons, that can include enabling their digital properties to operate effectively, providing personalized content and advertising, and creating analytics.
Cookies set by the property owner (in this case, Workday) are called “first-party cookies.” Only the property owner can access the first-party cookies it sets. Cookies set by parties other than the property owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable thirdparty features or functionality to be provided on or through the digital property (such as interactive content and social sharing). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the property in question and also when it visits other digital properties that have partnered with them.
What Cookies do we use on the Workday Recruiting Platform?
When you access the Platform, we use several types of first-party and third-party Cookies to deliver the service. “Essential Cookies” are required for technical reasons that are strictly necessary for our Platform to operate. “Functional Cookies” enable certain optional features within the Platform.
We use both session-based and persistent Cookies on our Platform. Session-based Cookies exist only during a single session and disappear from your device when you close your browser or turn off the device. Persistent Cookies remain on your device after you close your browser or turn your device off and will remain for the specified duration.
Workday also uses tracking pixels to measure the volume of applications that result from traffic forwarded from a select number of external third-party recruitment sites.
See the table below for details on the first and third-party Cookies on our Workday Recruiting Platform:

How can you control Cookies?
Except for Essential Cookies, you have the right to decide whether to accept or decline Cookies. Where required by applicable law, we will not set Functional Cookies unless you enable them. You can update your Cookie preferences at any time by accessing the Cookie Preferences tab within your profile. You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse Cookies. If you choose to reject Cookies, you can still use the Platform to perform the requested service, although your access to some additional functionality and areas may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse Cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
