Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help sites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and deliver a better experience.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies — required for the service to function, including authentication (Firebase) during the sign-in redirect. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with our site. We use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, and TikTok Pixel for this purpose. These are only set with your consent.

3. Local Storage

We also use browser local storage (not cookies) for essential and functional features:

• Sign-in session — Firebase stores authentication tokens in local storage so you stay signed in across visits.
• Analytics preference (resumae.cookieConsent) — remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics.
• Theme (resumae-theme) — saves your light or dark mode choice.
• Drafts and autosave — temporary copies of resume builder and interview-prep work in progress. These are functional only and are not used for tracking.

4. Third-Party Cookies

The only third-party cookies are those set by:

• Firebase — during email, password, or Google sign-in.
• Google Analytics — anonymised usage statistics (only with your consent).
• Meta Pixel — usage analytics (only with your consent).
• TikTok Pixel — usage analytics (only with your consent).

Note: your primary sign-in session is stored in local storage, not as a first-party cookie.

5. Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit our site, we show a consent banner. You can accept or decline analytics cookies. To change your choice later, use Cookie preferences in the site footer at any time.

You can also clear site data (cookies and local storage) for our domain in your browser settings — the consent banner will reappear on your next visit. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies or clearing Firebase session storage will prevent you from signing in.

If you decline analytics after previously accepting, we stop loading Google Analytics on-page tracking. Google may retain cookies it already set until you clear them in your browser.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology or law. Check the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
