Cookies and other ad technology such as beacons, pixels, and tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively.

These cookies allow our partners to recognize your computer so that the ad server can show you themasterjobs.com advertisements elsewhere on the Internet, and so that our analytics software can measure your engagement and interactions while using themasterjobs.com services. In this way, ad servers may compile anonymous, de-identified information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw our advertisements, whether or not you interacted with our advertisements, and actions performed on subsequent visits to themasterjobs.com websites and applications. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you, and it allows themasterjobs.com to optimize the performance of our advertising campaigns and the usability of our website. In other words, we use analytics data in concert with data about our online ads that have been shown using the Google Display Network, Facebook for Advertisers, or other online advertising networks. By doing so, we can understand how anonymous users interacted with our website after seeing our ads.
