Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to provide information to website owners, and to personalise your experience.
We also use localStorage — a browser-based storage mechanism that works similarly to cookies but stays on your device and is never sent to our servers. We use this to save your CV style preferences.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the platform.
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, you cannot log in, stay authenticated, or make payments. They do not require your consent under UK PECR and GDPR as they are necessary for a service you have requested.
Functional cookies remember your preferences and choices — such as your saved CV colour scheme — to personalise your experience. These are stored locally on your device and not transmitted to us.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited, where traffic comes from, and how long users spend on different sections. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. These cookies do not identify you personally and we anonymise IP addresses. You can opt out at any time.
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. If we add retargeting or advertising functionality in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent before setting any marketing cookies.

We use Stripe to process payments. When you upgrade to Pro or Premium, Stripe sets cookies for fraud prevention and session management. These are essential for secure payment processing and cannot be disabled when making a purchase. Stripe's use of your data is governed by their Privacy Policy.
We use Google Analytics to understand how our website is used. This service sets cookies to help us analyse visitor numbers, traffic sources, and page performance. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses and have disabled data sharing with Google. Your data is processed by Google in accordance with their Privacy Policy.
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
