Cookie Notice

Last Updated: April 2024

When you visit our sites (“Sites”), we may collect information by automated means, such as cookies, web beacons and web server logs. The information we may collect in this manner includes IP address, unique device identifier, browser characteristics, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, information on actions taken on our Sites, dates and times of visits to our Sites and other usage statistics.

A "cookie" is a small text file containing data that a website wants to store on a visitor's computer, or other internet-connected device, in order to uniquely identify the visitor's browser and/or remember information about the visitor, like language preference or login information.

A "web beacon" also known as an internet tag or tracking pixel, links web pages to web servers and their cookies and is used to send information collected through cookies back to a web server. Through these automated collection methods, we may obtain "clickstream data”, which is a log of the links and other content on which a visitor clicks while browsing a website.

How We Collect the Information by Automated Means

As you click through our Sites, a record of the action may be collected and stored. We link certain data elements we have collected through automated means, such as your browser information, with other information we have obtained about you to let us know, for example, whether you have opened an email we sent to you.

To the extent required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent via our cookie banner, before collecting information using cookies or similar automated means. You may also use our Privacy Preference Centre, which is accessed via the Changing Your Preferences section of this notice, to block all cookies that are not categorised as strictly necessary, if you change your mind. However, you may not be able to use all of the features of our Sites without cookies.

Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies, or how to restrict or disable certain types of cookies. Additionally, your browser may allow you to block cookies. Our Sites are not designed to respond to "do not track" signals from browsers.

Providers of third-party apps, tools, widgets and plug-ins on our Sites, such as social media sharing tools, also may use automated means to collect information regarding your interactions with these features. This information is collected directly by the providers of the features and is subject to the privacy policies or notices of these providers. Subject to applicable law, ManpowerGroup is not responsible for these providers' information practices.

  1. customize our users' experience of the site;
  2. deliver content tailored to our users' interests and the manner in which our users use the site;

Third-Party Cookies

We use third party cookies on our Sites. Details of these third-party cookies and their purpose are in the Cookie List above.

Links to Third-Party Sites, Apps and Services

For your convenience and information, our Sites may provide links to third-party sites, apps and services that may be operated by companies not affiliated with ManpowerGroup. These companies may have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly suggest you review. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any non-ManpowerGroup sites, apps or services.

Profiling and Interest-Based Advertising

On our Sites, we may collect information about your online activities to provide you with advertising about products and services tailored to your individual interests. We also may obtain information for this purpose from third-party websites on which our ads are served.

You may see certain ManpowerGroup ads on other websites because we engage third-party advertising networks. Through such advertising networks, we can target our messaging to users through demographic, interest-based, behavioural and contextual means. Through the ad networks, we can track your online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of third-party cookies, web server logs, pixels and web beacons. The networks use this information to show you advertisements that may be tailored to your individual interests and previous activity. The information our advertising networks may collect on our behalf includes data about your visits to websites that serve ManpowerGroup advertisements, such as the pages or advertisements you view and the actions you take on the websites. This data collection takes place both on our Sites and on third-party websites that participate in these ad networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
