Cookie Policy
Last updated:
Draft for legal review. Cookie names, vendors, and retention periods must be verified against your production analytics and auth stack before go-live.
This Cookie Policy explains how Cvaluate ("we") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://cvaluate.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how pages are used. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels.
How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Strictly necessary — authentication, security, and load balancing. The Service cannot function without these.
- Functional — remembering preferences (e.g. checklist progress in browser local storage on free tools pages).
- Analytics — understanding traffic and feature usage to improve the Service. Where required by law, we ask for consent before non-essential analytics cookies.
Cookies we may use
The following is indicative — confirm against your live deployment:
| Name / type | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session / auth tokens | Keep you signed in via our authentication provider | Session or up to 30 days | Strictly necessary |
| cvaluate-cv-checklist-v1 (local storage) | Saves tick-off state on the free CV checklist tool | Until you clear browser data | Functional |
| [Analytics cookie name] | Aggregated usage statistics | [e.g. 13 months] | Analytics (consent where required) |
Third-party cookies
Sign-in with Google may set cookies governed by Google's policies. Analytics or support tools we embed may set their own cookies. We do not control third-party cookies — refer to those providers' policies.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings — block, delete, or alert you when cookies are set. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from using parts of the Service.
Where we use a consent banner for non-essential cookies in the UK/EEA, you can change your choices at any time via [link to preference centre / cookie settings].
Changes
We may update this policy when we add or remove technologies. Check the "Last updated" date above.
