What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. Websites use them, and similar browser storage, to keep you signed in, remember your settings and understand how the site is used.

Our necessary cookies hold random tokens and settings, not your name or email. Analytics and marketing cookies stay off until you allow them.

How cookies work:

  • When you visit a website, it sends a cookie to your browser
  • Your browser stores the cookie on your device
  • On subsequent visits, the cookie is sent back to the website
  • The website uses this information to recognize you and your preferences

Your Cookie Choices

Necessary cookies are always on. Analytics and marketing cookies stay off until you turn them on, here or in the cookie banner. Changes are saved straight away.

Necessary cookies

Always on

Keep you signed in, remember your theme and this choice, and protect our forms from bots.

Analytics cookies

PostHog and Google Analytics count visits and steps such as signing up or creating a job, so we can see what helps. They never receive the contents of jobs, résumés or candidates.

Marketing cookies

Lets Google Analytics share data with Google's ad products, so we can measure our ads and show them to people who visited us.

First & Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are ours; others belong to the tools we use, and only run with your permission:

Ours

Set by Resume World to sign you in and remember your settings and your cookie choice.

PostHog and Google

Set by PostHog and Google Analytics, only if you allow analytics or marketing cookies. What they collect goes to those companies.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and browser storage to:

  • Keep you signed in and your session secure
  • Remember your theme, font and cookie choice
  • Count visits and steps such as signing up or creating a job (with your consent)
  • Measure our Google ads (with your consent)

We never sell your data, and analytics tools never receive the contents of jobs, résumés or candidates.

Managing Your Cookies

You have full control over the cookies stored on your device. Here's how you can manage them:

Cookie settings

Turn analytics and marketing cookies on or off at any time, from this page or from Cookie settings in the site footer.

Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Here are links to popular browsers:

Chrome (opens in a new tab)Firefox (opens in a new tab)Safari (opens in a new tab)Edge (opens in a new tab)

Turning analytics or marketing off never changes how Resume World works, but blocking necessary cookies in your browser will sign you out.
