1. About This Policy
Talent Passage is a trade name of FIKA LLC, a New York limited liability company ("Talent Passage," "we," "us," or "our").
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on www.talentpassage.com (the "Site"), what they do, who sets them, how long they last, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy & Candidate Data Policy.
2. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences, and let the site's operator and its partners understand how the site is being used.
Related technologies work similarly. Pixels (also called tags or beacons) are tiny pieces of code that load when you view a page and report that the page was viewed. Local storage lets a site store information in your browser. Where this policy refers to cookies, it includes these technologies.
Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by another company through our Site are third-party cookies.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for three purposes:
To make the Site work. Some cookies are necessary for the Site to load, function, and remain secure.
To understand how the Site is used. We look at which pages people visit, how they found us, and where they leave, so we can improve the Site.
To measure and target our advertising. We advertise our services, and we use cookies to understand which ads bring people to the Site and to show relevant ads to people who have visited it.
We do not use cookies to collect information about candidates, and we do not connect Site analytics or advertising data to any candidate record or CV.

Cookie names and durations are set by the providers and may change without notice to us. Providers may also set additional cookies. We review this list periodically, but it may not always be exhaustive at a given moment. If you want to see exactly what is set during a visit, your browser's developer tools will show you.
5. Who Receives Data From These Cookies
- Google LLC — through Google Analytics
- Meta Platforms, Inc. — through Meta Pixel
- Vercel Inc. — through Site hosting
These companies are based in the United States, and data collected through these cookies is processed there. We do not sell the data collected through cookies, and we do not share it with data brokers.
6. How to Control Cookies
You have several ways to limit or remove cookies. All of them work without any action on our part.
6.1 Through your browser
Every major browser lets you block cookies, block third-party cookies specifically, delete existing cookies, or be asked before one is set:
- Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Third-party cookies
- Safari — Settings › Privacy
- Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security
- Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Site from working. Blocking analytics and advertising cookies has no effect on how the Site functions for you.
6.2 Opting out of Google Analytics
Google offers a browser add-on that prevents Google Analytics from collecting data on any site you visit.
6.3 Opting out of Meta advertising
You can control how Meta uses your activity for advertising in your Facebook or Instagram Ad Preferences, including the "Off-Facebook activity" controls, which let you disconnect activity that businesses like ours have sent to Meta.
