Cookie Statement

Cookies are used on the Spring branded websites, which have the Spring logo. A cookie does not store personal data, like your name or address. It only tracks information about your visit to the website.

If you visit any of Spring’s websites, we use cookies, which we store on your computer, phone or tablet. Cookies are small text files, and we use the information contained in these files to identify you if, for example, you revisit our website at a future date. The details we remember include, for example, your login details and language settings. This enables us to assist you more quickly and efficiently next time.

In addition to cookies, there are other technologies we use that allow us to store and read information on your PC, tablet or mobile. One example of this is local storage, which essentially works the same as cookies, and which we will refer to as ‘cookies’ for the sake of convenience. We use different technologies to store cookies, including JavaScript and tracking pixels.

If you prefer that we not store information about you and the settings of your devices, you can indicate this at the top of this page. Please note: you must delete any cookies already stored on your PC, phone or tablet; we cannot do this on your behalf. You will find instructions on how to do this below.

To delete your cookies, open your web browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari). You can also change your settings to receive notifications when a cookie is being set or updated; you can then decide each time again whether to give your consent. Please use your browser’s ‘Help’ function for more information.

Since we may change the content on our website and of the Cookie Statement at any time, we recommend that you check these on a regular basis.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Functional cookies: to make our website more user-friendly
• Analytical cookies: to analyse the use of our websites.
• Social-media cookies: to share job openings or web pages on social media.
• Advertising cookies: to place advertisements.

On this page, we explain what each of these types of cookies involves, as well as provide a list of companies which might store cookies on your PC, phone or tablet. We include this information because for some types of cookies used by Spring, we engage the services of other companies, including Google. In this case, we refer you to the website of the company in question, where you can read how they can use the information.

Please note: while we endeavour to update the list of these organisations as frequently as possible, cookies may be used by a company not included in the list. In this case, we request that you contact our Customer Service department, so we can update the list on this page.

We use cookies to make our websites more user-friendly. Your consent is not required for these cookies, as the purpose of these cookies is to improve the performance of the website. For example, we may use these cookies to store your login details and the purchases in your shopping cart. In addition, we use these cookies to ensure that you not always have to provide the same information whenever you visit our website.

We use cookies to analyse how visitors use our website. This information enables us to improve our services, products and information. For example, we can see what information has been viewed on the website or app and regarding what issues customers are calling our Customer Service department. We will then improve this information on the website, so that it’s no longer necessary to call the Customer Service department regarding this issue. Your consent is not required for these cookies, as the purpose of these cookies is to improve the performance of the website. We do not share the data we collect through these cookies with any third parties.

We use these cookies to store the following information (this list is not exhaustive):

You can share Spring job openings on social media – for example, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn – by clicking the social media button on the web page or next to the job opening. If you click the button, the various social networks will store cookies on your PC/laptop, phone or tablet. This is why we only use buttons if you give us permission to do so.

These cookies enable these social networks to see what you are doing on the internet. The types of cookies set by these social networks and how long cookies are stored depends on the social network you are using. This is a process which is beyond Spring’s control.

We recommend that you read the privacy statements of Facebook, Google, LinkedIn and Twitter:

• Facebook
• Google
• LinkedIn
• Twitter

We use these cookies to view what pages you visited on our website. We use this information to post Spring advertisements relevant to your interests on other websites you visit. We work together with advertising partners such as Google and Facebook for this purpose. Through these partners, we can also search for other target demographics to whom our advertisements might be of interest. The advertising partners can use advertising cookies to track what other websites you are visiting. We only set these cookies if you give us permission to do so.

We measure how many people click on our advertisements and how many of them purchase our product or apply for a job. This is how advertising cookies help us to improve our digital marketing.

Please note: Even if you don’t give us permission to set these cookies, you may still see offers from us, but in this case these offers will not be based on your behaviour.

In addition, we might set advertising cookies from companies not yet included on this list.

• Google DoubleClick
• Google Adwords
• Google Dynamic Retargeting
• TradeDoubler
• TradeTracker
• Facebook
• LinkedIn
• Twitter
• Snapchat
