A cookie is a small piece of data that's stored on the visitors' computer by the web browser, which tracks, personalizes, and saves information about their preferences as they visit your career site. Career Site Builder allows you to enable the cookie banner, which notifies visitors that you use cookies, as well as configure the cookie consent manager, which allows visitors to accept or decline the use of specific cookies while they visit your career site.
The Cookie Manager page under Career Site Builder→Appearance→Global Settings replaces the limited functionality of the Site Banner page. The renamed Legacy Site Banner page is being retained for organizations who need to revise site banner settings, but aren't ready to configure their cookie banner and cookie consent settings.
Career Site Builder allows you to configure the following:
- The cookie banner, which appears at the bottom of the page when visitors first go to your career site. (See the screen capture below.)
- The cookie consent manager, which appears as a dialog when visitors choose to modify their preferences from the cookie banner. The dialog allows them to view descriptions of the cookies used in your career site, as well as accept or decline them.
- The ability to place a link to the cookie consent manager in either the header or footer of every page in your career site.
Cookie Manager Permission
The Cookie Consent Manager is 100% configurable. All of the text and links can be edited. The font and colors in the cookie banner are inherited from Global Styles settings. Customers can add their own cookie integrations with custom JavaScript. Note that the JavaScript permission under CSB→Users→Roles now also includes Cookie Manager.
If Career Site Builder's role-based permissions are enabled, set this permission for any CSB users who should have edit access. Otherwise, all users set up with Recruiter SSO can access the Cookie Manager.
Cookie Manager Sections
The Cookie Manager page contains these sections:
- Cookie Banner Settings: The cookie banner is always displayed at the bottom of the career site. Notice that the Enable Reject All Cookies option is disabled by default. Enable it to display a Reject All Cookies button in the banner. If desired, the buttons and text on the cookie banner can be renamed.
- Cookie Policy Settings: Intro text and buttons can be renamed.
- Required Cookies Section: Required cookies cannot be disabled.
- Functional Cookies Section: Two integrations are provided by default: Vimeo and YouTube. Candidates can enable/disable those third-party integrations, which means that if the site contains videos hosted by Vimeo or YouTube, the candidate will not be able to view them. Also note that the advertising cookies that are normally dropped by Vimeo and YouTube have been disabled.
- Performance Cookies Section: No cookies are provided by default, but custom integrations can be configured.
- Advertising Cookies Section Four integrations are provided by default: AddThis, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and LinkedIn. Note that, for example, if LinkedIn is disabled, the advertising cookies won’t be dropped, but the integration with LinkedIn will not work either.
- Google Tag Manager doesn’t use cookies by default, but if the customer has an advanced integration, the option is there to enable cookies for it.
Custom integrations can also be configured.
Modify Cookie Preferences
If enabled, currently the Cookie Banner is always displayed at the bottom of the page. Candidates can select Accept All Cookies, Reject All Cookies, or Modify Cookie Preferences. Selecting Modify Cookie Preferences opens the Cookie Consent Manager, where the candidate can select which cookies they accept.
Cookies are enabled on the right side of the page. Select the links for more information about each of the third-party cookies. For example, clicking the Cookie Table link under LinkedIn allows candidates to view the cookies that LinkedIn drops on the career site.
Cookie Consent Manager Header/Footer Links
A new link type has been added so that candidates can reopen the Cookie Consent Manager after dismissing the cookie banner. See the Creating Headers and Footers section for details.
