Cookie Policy

We use cookies on our career website to gain insights into how you use it and how we can improve your user experience. We set the cookies and collect the information only if you have given your prior consent (§ 25 para. 1 TTDSG, Art. 6 para. 1 a) DS-GVO). As far as technically necessary cookies are concerned, § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 f) DS-GVO apply. For further details on the cookies used in each case, please refer to our Cookie Policy:

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. The cookies ensure that the website remembers you and how you have used the website each time you visit it again. To learn more about cookies, visit aboutcookies.org or allaboutcookies.org (please note: these links open a new window or browser tab).

What are other similar technologies

This refers to any other method used to store information, gain access to information, or track activity on your device, such as Local Shared Objects ("Flash cookies"), scripts, tracking pixels and plugins, app trackers (including SDKs) on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, or other devices.

How we use cookies/tracking technologies

We use cookies and other similar tracking technologies to do a number of things. For example, to store your preferences or count the number of visitors to a website. We also use them to track what you have done on the Site and, where appropriate, to make online advertising more relevant to you. Cookies typically consist of a unique alphanumeric identifier that is stored in your browser. In some cases, we may not be able to associate the information we collect using a cookie with you. However, you may enable us to associate this information with you and your personal information, such as when you sign up or register for a service or newsletter. We may also use cookies to show you personalized advertising based on your browsing behavior, if applicable.

We have divided our cookies into the following categories to help you understand what we need them for:

1. Essential - these are used to make our website work efficiently.
2. Performance - these cookies are used to analyze how our website works and how we can improve it
3. Functional - this data helps us improve your experience by, for example, storing products you have added to your shopping cart
4. Targeting/Advertising - these cookies are used to share some information with third parties that we use to advertise so that we know how you arrived at our website. We may also use cookies to identify the parts of the website that interest you. We then use this information to show you ads and pages that we think may also be of interest to you, to customize the way we communicate with you, or to customize the content of communications we send you. If you prefer, you may opt out. Customized content means that it contains information that reflects your interest in the content of our websites, or offers or promotions that we think may interest you, and to improve how we respond to your needs.

In addition to the cookies, we use on our websites, we also use cookies and similar technologies in some emails and push notifications we send to mobile devices through our apps. These help us understand whether you opened the email and how you interacted with it. If you have enabled images, cookies may be set on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are also set when you click on a link in the email. Sometimes we use both persistent cookies and "session-based" cookies. A "persistent" cookie will remain for a period of time specified for that cookie. A "session-based" cookie is set only for the duration of your visit to our website and expires automatically when you close your browser.

First-party cookies

First-party cookies come from the same domain as the website you are visiting (in this case https://careers.vodafone.com/DE or https://jobs.vodafone.com/careers). See our list of first-party cookies (see later in this Cookie Policy).

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies (called "third-party cookies") come from a different domain than the website you are visiting. For example, when you visit our website, we may link to another company's website - like our Facebook or Twitter account, or a video from our YouTube page. We have no control over how these companies use their cookies, so we recommend that you check their website to find out how they use them and how you can manage them. Affiliated Vodafone Group companies with a different domain name may also place cookies on our website to show you advertisements or pages from other Vodafone Group companies that may be of interest to you. Where applicable, you can find details of these affiliated companies - and how to opt out - in our list of third parties (further down in this Cookie Policy) that may place cookies on our website.
