Cookies

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to a user's hard drive for record-keeping purposes while visiting a site. Like most major websites, Path 101 uses cookies on certain pages of our Site. Cookies make using the Internet easier by, among other things, saving your passwords and preferences for you. For example, a cookie lets the Site remember that you've registered, which allows us to speed up your future activities at our Site, and which allows you to enter your password/log-in ID less frequently while visiting our Site. We may also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests. Our cookies do not contain any content specific information. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information although cookies may enable us to relate your use of our Site to personally identifying information that you previously submitted. For example, it enables us to enhance personalization on the Site, such as calling you by name when you return to our Site. You may opt out of receiving a cookie by checking the appropriate box. However, if you decide to opt out, your use of the Site may be slowed because you will have to enter your log-in ID and password at every session, and you may not be able to access certain portions of the Site.

We will also collect and analyze users' resumes and other personal data in order to provide useful career information and statistics to our users and third parties. However, for these purposes, we only use your personal information on an aggregated basis without the use of any information that personally identifies you unless you give us your consent to disclose your personal information.
