2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use an online service. We may also use similar technologies that store or access information on your device, such as:

local storage
session storage
pixels
tags
scripts
similar browser-based identifiers

Regulators generally treat these technologies in a similar way when they store information on, or access information from, a user's device. Official guidance also makes clear that the rules are not limited to classic cookies only.

3. Why we use cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

to make CVPal function properly
to keep the Service secure
to maintain sessions and user preferences
to prevent abuse, spam, and fraudulent activity
to measure performance and usage
to improve the Service and user experience

4. Categories of cookies and similar technologies we use

A. Strictly necessary

These technologies are required for the Service to function properly or to provide a service you have explicitly requested.

Examples may include technologies used for:

session continuity
security and fraud prevention
load balancing
form submission integrity
rate limiting
file upload flow
consent state storage
user interface state needed for the current session

Where applicable law allows, these technologies may be used without your consent because they are necessary for the operation of the Service or for a service you request. Official guidance recognizes limited exceptions for technologies that are strictly necessary.

B. Functional or preference technologies

These technologies help remember choices you make, such as:

language or region preferences
interface settings
non-essential convenience settings

Depending on the jurisdiction and the exact purpose, some of these technologies may require consent.

C. Analytics technologies

These technologies help us understand how users interact with CVPal so we can measure performance and improve the Service.

Examples may include:

page and feature usage
device and browser type
interaction events
completion funnels
general performance and reliability metrics

Unless a specific legal exemption applies, analytics technologies are generally treated as non-essential and should be used only after appropriate consent. Some regulators recognize narrow audience-measurement exemptions under specific conditions, but those conditions are limited and context-specific.

D. Marketing technologies

We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies for behavioral advertising through CVPal unless we clearly inform you and obtain any consent required by applicable law.

If this changes, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, request your consent before using such technologies.

Where required by applicable law, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Our consent approach is designed so that:

non-essential technologies are not pre-enabled before consent where consent is required;
you can accept, reject, or customize your choices;
you can change your preferences later through available cookie controls.

Guidance from regulators states that valid consent must be informed and involve a clear positive action, and that non-essential technologies should not be pre-enabled before consent where consent is required.

6. How to manage your cookie choices

You can manage your choices in several ways:

by using our cookie banner or preference center, where available;
by changing your browser settings to block or delete cookies;
by using device or browser privacy controls.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary technologies may cause parts of CVPal not to function correctly.

You may also be able to revisit your choices later using a Manage Cookies link or similar control on our website or widget interface.

7. Cookies on branded subdomains and embedded widgets

CVPal may be made available through branded subdomains or embedded widgets used on third-party websites, including recruitment agency websites.

In those contexts:

some cookies or similar technologies may be set by CVPal;
some cookies or similar technologies may be set by the agency website or other third parties;
this Cookie Policy describes technologies used by CVPal, not those independently used by the agency or other third parties.

If you access CVPal through an agency website, that agency may have its own cookie policy or privacy notice that also applies to your visit.

8. First-party and third-party technologies

Some technologies may be set directly by us or on our behalf. Others may be provided by service providers that support functions such as:

hosting and infrastructure
security and abuse prevention
analytics
performance monitoring
content delivery

Where third parties are involved, we aim to use providers appropriate to the purpose and applicable legal requirements.

9. Retention and duration

Some cookies and similar technologies operate only for the duration of your session. Others may remain on your device for a longer period.

The duration depends on the purpose of the technology. For example:

session technologies usually expire when you close your browser;
preference or analytics technologies may remain for a longer defined period unless deleted earlier.

We aim to use retention periods that are proportionate to the relevant purpose.

10. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology, legal obligations, or service design.

When we do, we will post the updated version here and revise the Last updated date.
