Policy Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how TalScreener by Xorvo Private Limited ("TalScreener," "Company," "Platform," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the TalScreener website, web application, mobile applications, APIs, and related digital services.
TalScreener is an AI-powered recruitment and hiring platform used by employers, recruiters, and candidates. Because TalScreener operates across websites, authenticated dashboards, mobile applications, and analytics-enabled workflows, different categories of cookies and similar technologies may be used depending on the product surface, user role, device, jurisdiction, and consent status.
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy applies to TalScreener’s public website, authenticated web applications, candidate-facing experiences, employer dashboards, mobile applications, and other online services that link to or reference this Cookie Policy. It should be read together with TalScreener’s Privacy Policy and any regional notices, cookie banners, or consent management interfaces made available on the Platform.
Consent & Choice Guidelines
Where required by applicable law, TalScreener will request consent before placing or reading non-essential cookies or similar technologies on a user’s device. Regulatory guidance under European cookie rules generally requires prior consent for non-essential analytics, marketing, and advertising trackers, while strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are essential to deliver a service explicitly requested by the user.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files or similar technologies that are stored on or accessed from a user’s browser, device, or application environment when the user visits a website or uses an online service. Cookies can help recognize a browser or device, maintain sessions, remember preferences, support authentication, improve performance, measure usage, and enable certain marketing or personalization functions.
Cookies may be session cookies, which expire when the browser session ends, or persistent cookies, which remain on the device for a longer period until they expire or are deleted. Similar technologies may include SDKs, pixels, web beacons, local storage objects, scripts, APIs, software identifiers, and mobile advertising identifiers.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
TalScreener may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for core platform functionality, such as user authentication, session continuity, load balancing, security controls, account login, and delivery of services requested by the user. Consent is generally not required for strictly necessary cookies under European cookie rules when they are genuinely essential for providing the requested service.
Examples include: authentication cookies, session management cookies, login state cookies, CSRF protection tokens, and cookies used to maintain secure navigation across authenticated areas.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies help remember choices and improve convenience, such as remembering interface settings, language preferences, accessibility options, saved login preferences where permitted, or workflow settings within dashboards.
Depending on jurisdiction and implementation, some functional cookies may require consent if they are not strictly necessary for the requested service.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance and analytics cookies help measure usage, understand user journeys, monitor application performance, identify errors, and improve the design and operation of TalScreener’s services. In many jurisdictions, analytics cookies are treated as non-essential and require consent before they are set, unless a narrow local exemption applies.
Examples include: Google Analytics or equivalent analytics tools, first-party audience measurement technologies, performance dashboards, and error monitoring tools.
Security Cookies
Security-related technologies may be used to detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, protect accounts, enforce rate limits, identify abusive automation, and maintain platform integrity. Some security cookies may qualify as essential where they are strictly necessary to provide a secure service requested by the user.
Examples include: device integrity checks, bot-detection technologies, authentication hardening tools, and fraud prevention markers.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising and marketing cookies are used to measure campaign performance, limit repetitive advertisements, support remarketing, personalize marketing messages, or track engagement with promotional content across websites or services. European regulators generally treat advertising and similar cross-site tracking technologies as non-essential and subject to prior consent.
TalScreener may not always use advertising cookies on every product surface, but where such technologies are used they will be disclosed through the cookie banner, preference center, or related notice.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies store choices a user makes about how the service is presented or configured, such as region, language, display settings, notice acknowledgments, cookie choices, or interface preferences. These technologies may be considered essential or non-essential depending on the function they perform and the applicable law.
4. How We Use Cookies
TalScreener may use cookies and similar technologies to:
5. Third-Party Cookies
TalScreener may permit certain third parties to place or access cookies and similar technologies through the Platform, such as analytics providers, cloud monitoring services, fraud prevention tools, embedded service providers, support platforms, advertising partners, or integration partners. If third-party cookies are used, privacy regulators generally expect organizations to identify the third parties and explain their role in the tracking activity.
Third-party cookies are subject to the relevant third party’s own privacy and cookie practices in addition to TalScreener’s notices. TalScreener may update its cookie banner, cookie table, or preference center as third-party providers are added, removed, or changed.
6. Analytics and Tracking Technologies
TalScreener may use analytics and measurement technologies such as Google Analytics or equivalent tools, application telemetry, performance monitoring tools, heatmapping or event analytics tools, and operational measurement technologies to understand how users interact with the Platform. Under many European interpretations, analytics cookies require prior consent unless a tightly limited audience-measurement exemption applies and the implementation fits within that exemption.
Where TalScreener relies on analytics technologies, configuration may vary by jurisdiction. In some jurisdictions, audience measurement tools may be configured to reduce identifiers, limit retention, or operate only as first-party statistics tools in order to reduce privacy impact.
7. Browser Storage, Pixels, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies
TalScreener may also use related tracking or storage technologies such as browser local storage, session storage, SDKs, scripts, web beacons, tracking pixels, embedded tags, software development kits, mobile identifiers, or similar tools that store or access information on a device. Many privacy regulators treat these technologies in a similar way to cookies when they store or retrieve information from a device.
These technologies may be used for authentication, fraud prevention, consent management, analytics, marketing measurement, service improvement, and operational support, subject to applicable law.
8. Managing Cookie Preferences
Users can manage cookie preferences through TalScreener’s cookie consent banner, consent management tool, or preference center where available. Users should be able to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies, and regulators have emphasized that consent choices should be balanced and not designed to steer users unfairly toward acceptance.
TalScreener may remember a user’s consent choices using a preference cookie or similar technology so that the user is not repeatedly asked to make the same selection during a limited period.
9. How Users Can Disable or Delete Cookies
Users may also disable, block, or delete cookies through browser or device settings. Most browsers allow users to review stored cookies, remove existing cookies, block specific categories, or prevent new cookies from being placed.
Users can usually find relevant controls in the browser’s privacy, settings, history, or security menu. Device-level controls, mobile operating system permissions, and advertising identifier settings may also be available for mobile applications and connected services.
10. Impact of Disabling Cookies
If a user disables or blocks certain cookies or similar technologies, parts of the Platform may not function properly. For example, a user may need to sign in repeatedly, certain session-dependent tools may fail, language or preference settings may not be remembered, and some analytics, personalization, or support functions may be unavailable.
11. Mobile Application Tracking Technologies
TalScreener’s mobile applications may use SDKs, local storage, cached data, mobile device identifiers, push notification tokens, diagnostic tools, and analytics technologies instead of or in addition to browser cookies. Mobile operating systems may also provide controls for app permissions, background refresh, analytics sharing, and advertising identifiers.
Where required by law, TalScreener will seek consent for non-essential mobile tracking technologies before activating them. Mobile tracking disclosures may appear in-app, in app-store disclosures, in device permission prompts, or in TalScreener’s privacy interfaces.
12. Data Collected Through Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may collect data such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, app version, session identifiers, language, timezone, pages viewed, clicks, timestamps, referrer URLs, approximate geolocation derived from IP, login state, performance metrics, crash diagnostics, fraud signals, and advertising or campaign data where applicable.
Some of this information may constitute personal data under applicable privacy law when it can be linked to an individual, account, or device. In those cases, TalScreener will process the data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable law.
13. Data Retention
Cookie retention periods vary depending on the purpose and technology used. Session cookies may expire automatically when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies may remain until their stated expiration date or until manually deleted.
European guidance on audience measurement technologies often recommends or requires limited retention periods, and certain CNIL guidance refers to a 13-month maximum life for certain exempt audience measurement trackers. TalScreener should align actual retention periods with the cookie inventory, consent configuration, and legal requirements applicable in the relevant jurisdiction.
14. User Rights
Depending on the user’s location and the applicable law, users may have rights to access, correct, delete, object to, restrict, or receive information about personal data collected through cookies and similar technologies, and to withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis. GDPR and ePrivacy-related rules also require users to be informed about the purposes of cookies and to be given a way to refuse non-essential cookies.
Users in California and other U.S. states may have rights relating to the sale, sharing, or targeted advertising use of personal information where such concepts apply. Users in India may have rights under the DPDP framework relating to notice, consent, withdrawal, correction, grievance handling, and other statutory protections depending on the context of processing.
15. International Data Transfers
Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be processed by TalScreener or its service providers in countries other than the user’s country of residence. This may include transfers to service providers that support analytics, hosting, security, fraud prevention, communications, or infrastructure functions.
Where required by law, TalScreener will implement appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as contractual protections, adequacy mechanisms, or other lawful transfer tools.
16. Updates to This Cookie Policy
TalScreener may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, vendors, cookie practices, consent mechanisms, or platform features. Updated versions will be posted on the website or otherwise made available through the Platform with a revised effective date.
Where required by law, TalScreener may provide additional notice or seek refreshed consent before material changes take effect.
