Third-party pages

When you pay, you complete checkout on a page run by our payment provider, Stripe, which sets its own cookies to process the payment and prevent fraud. Those cookies are covered by Stripe's cookie policy. The same applies to any job site you visit from a job we match you to.

Managing cookies

You can see and delete cookies in your browser settings, and block them altogether. If you block the cookies above, you will not be able to sign in or save your work.

Changes

If we ever add a cookie that is not essential, such as analytics, we will list it here and ask for your consent before setting it. Questions? Email hello@getshortlisted.pro. See our privacy policy for how we handle your personal data.
