What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Why do we use cookies?

We use essential cookies for the operation of our platform. For example, to keep you logged in securely and to store your local session state (such as your resume data that hasn't been synced to the cloud yet). We do NOT use third-party tracking or advertising cookies. Our priority is your privacy and a fast, local-first experience.

Types of cookies we use

  • Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
  • Local Storage: While technically not cookies, we heavily rely on your browser's Local Storage to save your resume drafts and settings. This ensures your data remains on your device and loads instantly.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website (like remaining logged in or saving your resume) may be severely restricted.
