1. Introduction
Rapid Global Recruitment & Travel Ltd ("Rapid Global", "the Company", "we", "us" or "our") respects the privacy of visitors, candidates, recruitment partners, employers and other users of our digital services.
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on our website and connected portals, the purposes they serve, the choices available to users and how information collected through these technologies is protected.
This Policy should be read together with our Privacy & Data Protection Policy.
We aim to comply with applicable data-protection requirements, including Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), and other relevant laws where applicable.

3. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on a user's computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when visiting a website.
Cookies can help a website recognize a browser, maintain login sessions, remember selected preferences and support secure website operations.
Cookies may be temporary or stored for a defined period.
Other technologies, including local storage, pixels and similar identifiers, may perform related functions. Where applicable, these technologies are covered by this Policy.
4. Categories of Cookies
4.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support essential website functions and security.
They may be used for:
- Maintaining secure login sessions
- Authenticating authorized users
- Protecting forms against unauthorized submissions
- Preventing session misuse
- Maintaining secure access to portal pages
- Supporting essential account functions
- Remembering privacy choices
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without optional cookie consent where permitted by applicable law.
Disabling them through browser settings may prevent some website or portal functions from working.
4.2. Functional and Preference Cookies
These cookies may remember preferences such as:
- Preferred website language
- Selected country or region
- Display preferences
- Accessibility choices
- Other user-selected settings
Where these cookies are not strictly necessary for a service requested by the user, appropriate choices or consent shall be provided where required.
4.3. Performance and Analytics Cookies
Where analytics services are enabled, these cookies may help Rapid Global understand:
- Pages visited
- General website traffic
- Navigation patterns
- Website errors
- Device and browser categories
- How visitors reach the website
Analytics information may be used to improve website performance, usability and accessibility.
Non-essential analytics technologies shall be managed according to applicable consent and privacy requirements.
Rapid Global shall not describe analytics data as completely anonymous unless that description is technically accurate.
4.4. Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Where marketing technologies are enabled, cookies or similar identifiers may help measure advertising effectiveness, identify campaign referrals or support relevant advertising.
Such technologies may involve third-party providers.
Where consent is legally required, marketing cookies shall not be activated before the user makes an appropriate choice.
Declining marketing cookies shall not prevent access to ordinary website content or essential recruitment services.
4.5. Security and Fraud-Prevention Technologies
Rapid Global may use security-related technologies to protect accounts, detect suspicious activity and reduce fraudulent access.
Such technologies may process limited device, browser or session information.
Their use shall be proportionate to the security purpose and subject to applicable law.
5. Session and Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are generally temporary and expire when the relevant browser session ends or the server session is terminated.
Persistent cookies remain on the user's device until their specified expiration date or until deleted.
The duration of each cookie depends on its purpose and configuration.
Rapid Global shall review cookie lifetimes and avoid retaining identifiers longer than reasonably necessary.
6. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by Rapid Global's website or its associated systems.
Third-party cookies may be set by external providers whose services are integrated into the website.
These providers may include, where actually implemented:
- Payment service providers
- Website analytics services
- Authentication providers
- Security services
- Appointment scheduling services
- Embedded media providers
- Advertising or campaign measurement services
The use of a third-party service does not necessarily mean that it sets cookies.
Rapid Global shall identify actual third-party technologies in its maintained cookie inventory.
7. Cookies Used in Candidate Accounts
The Candidate Portal may use essential cookies to maintain authenticated sessions and protect account access.
These cookies may support:
- Candidate login
- Secure navigation
- Session verification
- Application management
- Document submission
- Protection against unauthorized requests
Candidate documents, including passports and certificates, should not be stored directly inside ordinary browser cookies.
Sensitive information shall be handled through appropriate protected systems.
8. Cookies Used in the Partner Portal
The B2B Partner Portal may use essential cookies to authenticate approved partners and maintain authorized access.
Cookies may help support account sessions, security checks and other necessary portal functions.
A partner's cookie or session shall not grant access beyond the permissions assigned to that partner.
Partner commercial information, candidate records and payment details shall remain subject to appropriate access restrictions.
9. Cookies Used in Employer and Administrative Systems
Employer-facing and authorized administrative systems may use session and security cookies.
These may help protect:
- Authorized staff sessions
- Employer account access
- Candidate management
- Financial records
- Document review
- Administrative actions
Access control shall be enforced by the underlying system and not solely by the presence of a browser cookie.
10. Cookie Consent and User Choices
Where required by applicable law, Rapid Global shall provide users with clear information and appropriate choices before activating non-essential cookies.
The cookie preference interface should allow users to:
- Accept all optional cookies
- Reject all optional cookies
- Customize cookie categories
- Save their preferences
- Revisit or change their preferences later
Strictly necessary cookies may remain active where legally permitted.
Optional categories should not be enabled merely because a visitor continues browsing, where affirmative consent is required.
11. Withdrawal or Modification of Consent
Users may change their cookie preferences through the website's cookie settings interface, where available.
Withdrawal of consent shall affect future optional cookie use.
Where reasonably practicable, Rapid Global shall stop associated optional tracking and address cookies already placed by its own systems.
Users may also remove cookies through browser settings.
Withdrawal of optional cookie consent shall not terminate an existing candidate application or partnership agreement.
12. Cookie Inventory and Retention
Rapid Global shall maintain a record of cookies and similar technologies actually used on its website.
The inventory should identify:
- Cookie or technology name
- Provider
- Purpose
- Category
- Whether it is essential
- Applicable duration
- Whether it involves a third party
The technologies currently used on rapidglobaltravel.com are:
| Cookie or technology | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID (first-party session cookie) | Keeps you signed in to the Candidate Portal, Partner Portal and staff systems, and protects online forms against unauthorized submissions | Essential | Ends when the browser session ends or the session expires on the server |
| rg_sidebar_collapsed (browser local storage, Candidate Portal only) | Remembers whether you collapsed the portal menu | Functional | Until you clear your browser data |
| googtrans (first-party preference cookie) | Remembers the website language you chose (more than 90 languages are offered). Only set when you choose a language other than English | Functional | Up to 12 months, or until you switch back to English |
| Google Website Translator (translate.google.com) | Translates the page into the language you chose. Only loaded after you choose a language other than English; Google may process the page text and your IP address under its own privacy policy | Functional (third party) | Set by Google |
| Country flag images from flagcdn.com | Displays destination flags on job pages (images only; Rapid Global does not set tracking cookies through this service) | Embedded content | Not applicable |
Rapid Global does not currently use analytics, advertising or marketing cookies. For this reason no cookie consent banner is displayed. The translation feature is used only when you choose another language, and choosing English again removes the language cookie. If optional cookies are introduced in the future, this table will be updated and a cookie preference tool will be provided before they are activated.
13. Third-Party Payment Services
Where Rapid Global integrates a payment provider, that provider may use security, transaction or fraud-prevention technologies.
Payment providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
Rapid Global shall disclose relevant providers and technologies where required.
Payment authentication codes, banking passwords and PINs should never be requested through ordinary website cookies.
14. Job Alerts and Recruitment Communications
Users may subscribe to vacancy alerts or other optional communications.
A job-alert subscription is separate from consent to non-essential tracking cookies.
Users should be able to manage communication preferences independently of their cookie settings.
Declining marketing cookies shall not automatically cancel an authorized job-alert subscription.
15. Browser Cookie Controls
Most browsers allow users to view, restrict or delete cookies.
Depending on the browser, these controls may be found in privacy or site settings.
Users may manage cookies through:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Apple Safari
- Microsoft Edge
- Other supported browsers
Blocking all cookies may prevent secure login, form submission or certain portal functions from operating correctly.
16. International Processing
Some cookie or analytics providers may process information outside Ghana.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, Rapid Global shall consider applicable data-protection requirements and appropriate safeguards.
Relevant third-party providers and processing arrangements shall be identified where necessary.
17. Security and Confidentiality
Rapid Global shall take reasonable measures to protect information processed through cookies and similar technologies.
Depending on the actual implementation, safeguards may include secure connections, session controls, appropriate cookie attributes, restricted access and regular system maintenance.
Cookies shall not be treated as a substitute for secure server-side authentication or authorization.
18. Children's Privacy
Rapid Global's independent recruitment and commercial services are primarily intended for adults.
We do not knowingly use advertising technologies to target children through our recruitment services.
Where a permitted travel-related service involves a minor, applicable legal protections shall be respected.
19. Relationship With Our Privacy Policy
Where cookies or similar technologies collect information that identifies or can reasonably identify an individual, the information shall also be handled under Rapid Global's Privacy & Data Protection Policy.
That Policy explains the broader purposes of processing, data sharing, security, retention and applicable individual rights.
20. Changes to This Cookie Policy
Rapid Global may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, service providers, website functions or applicable legal requirements change.
The updated Policy shall display its effective date and version number.
Where a change requires renewed consent, Rapid Global shall obtain it before activating the relevant optional technologies.
