Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 5/25/2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit certain websites. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

2. How We Use Cookies

JobPals uses cookies for several purposes:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They usually include session cookies that help you navigate the site and use its features (e.g., keeping you logged in).
• Analytics Cookies: We use third-party analytics services, such as PostHog, which use cookies to collect information about how visitors use our site. This includes data like which pages are visited most often, how users navigate the site, and if they encounter error messages. We use this information to improve how our website works.
• Functionality Cookies (LocalStorage): While not strictly cookies, we use browser localStorage to store certain preferences or data locally on your device. For example, your contact details entered on the settings page are stored locally for easy access and use within the application (e.g., copying details on the compatibility page). This data is not stored on our backend servers unless explicitly saved through other means (like account details).

3. Third-Party Cookies

We use PostHog for analytics. PostHog may set its own cookies on your device. We do not control the use of these cookies and you should refer to PostHog's privacy policy for more information on their cookie usage.

Our authentication provider (Clerk) may also use cookies to manage your login session securely.

4. Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You can usually find these settings in the 'options' or 'preferences' menu of your browser. To understand these settings, the following links may be helpful, or you can use the 'Help' option in your browser for more details:

• Cookie settings in Chrome
• Cookie settings in Firefox
• Cookie settings in Safari web
• Cookie settings in Internet Explorer

Please note that if you choose to disable cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly. Disabling localStorage will prevent features like the local storage of contact details from working.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy frequently.
