GENERAC COOKIE NOTICE 

Last Updated: June 19, 2024 

1. INTRODUCTION 

This Cookie Notice explains how Generac Power Systems, Inc. and/or its affiliated entities (“Generac”, “we”, “our” or “us”) use cookies and similar technologies when you use our careers portal (the "Website"). This Cookie Notice also explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. 

In some cases, we may use cookies and similar technologies to collect personal data, or information that becomes personal data if we combine it with other information. In such cases, Generac’s Candidate Privacy Notice will apply and supplement this Cookie Notice. 

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES? 

Cookies are small data files that a website sends to your web browser to store on your computer, mobile phone or other device in order to remember information about you. When you return to these websites using the same device and web browser, or visit other websites that use the same cookies, the websites are able to recognize your device and preferences. By themselves, cookies do not identify you specifically. Rather, they recognize your browser or device. Cookies can retrieve only the information that they have stored on your device; they cannot access any other information about you from your device. 

Cookies that are set by the website operator are called first-party cookies. These cookies allow website operators to collect analytics data, remember language settings and perform other useful functions that generally improve your user experience. Cookies that are set by parties other than the website operator are called third-party cookies. These cookies are usually used for online advertising purposes and placed on a website through a script or tag so that you see content more relevant to you and your interests. Third-party cookies are accessible on any website that loads the third-party server’s code.  More information on cookies and their use can be found at www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org. 

3. WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES DO WE USE? 

On our careers portal we use the following type of cookies: 

Strictly Necessary Cookies:

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but if you block them, some parts of the Website may not work. 

4. WHY DO WE USE COOKIES? 

As is common practice among companies that operate online, we use cookies to automatically collect information as you access the Website.

Specifically, we use first-party and third-party cookies to recognize you as a candidate, to enable your use and access of the Website (e.g., to remember your username, language or other preferences), and to collect information about your computer or other device to help prevent fraud and promote the safety and security of the Sites. 

5. HOW LONG WILL COOKIES STAY ON MY DEVICE? 

The length of time a cookie will stay on your browsing device depends on whether it is a "session" or a "persistent" cookie.  

Session cookies are temporary and only stay on your browsing device until you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your hard drive, persisting from session to session until you delete them, or they reach a set expiration date. Persistent cookies are sometimes called tracking cookies because they are used to collect user information such as browsing habits and preferences over a longer period of time. 

6. HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES? 

Currently, we only use cookies that are strictly necessary to enable the Website to function, and thus do not provide any means for you to switch off these cookies. If you block or delete these cookies, the Website may not function properly.

7. CHANGES TO THIS NOTICE 

From time to time, we may update or modify this Cookie Notice, in our sole discretion, to reflect changes in legal and regulatory requirements and our business practices. The updated Cookie Notice will be posted on the Website with a change to the “Last Updated” date (located at the top of this Cookie Notice). We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed. The updated Cookie Notice will take effect immediately after being posted or as otherwise notified by us.  

8. CONTACTING US
