Cookie Policy


Last updated: August 2, 2026

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how JobLocator ("we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://joblocator.io and related pages. It should be read with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. Cookies can be session cookies (removed when you close the browser) or persistent cookies (kept until they expire or you delete them). First-party cookies are set by JobLocator; third-party cookies are set by other services we use.

What cookies do we use?

Essential cookies

These are required for the site to work. They include Laravel session cookies and CSRF / security cookies used to keep you signed in and protect forms. Without them, login and account features will not work reliably.

Sign-in with Google

If you choose Google sign-in, Google may set its own cookies or use local storage as part of the OAuth flow. That processing is controlled by Google under its own policies.

Payment processing (Stripe)

When you proceed to checkout, our payment processor Stripe may set cookies or use local storage for fraud prevention and a secure checkout. Those are set by Stripe and governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

Analytics and advertising (optional)

The site can load Google Analytics and third-party ad tags when advertising/analytics is enabled in our configuration. When those features are off, those scripts are not loaded. If they are enabled, Google or ad partners may set their own cookies. More about Google's partner data use: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. Google Analytics opt-out: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Internal product events

JobLocator records certain interactions — such as applying for a job, generating a cover letter, or completing a purchase — in an internal events log on our servers. That log does not require additional third-party analytics cookies.

How can you manage cookies?

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, your overall user experience may worsen because it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also prevent you from saving customized settings such as login information. Browser manufacturers provide help pages related to cookie management in their products.

Blocking and disabling cookies and similar technologies

Wherever you are located, you may also set your browser to block cookies and similar technologies, but this action may block our essential cookies and prevent our website from functioning properly, and you may not be able to fully use all of its features and services. You should also be aware that you may lose some saved information, such as saved login details or site preferences, if you block cookies in your browser. Different browsers make different controls available to you. Disabling a cookie or category of cookie does not delete the cookie from your browser. You will need to do that yourself within your browser. You should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

Changes to our Cookie Policy

We may change our Services and policies, and we may need to make changes to this Cookie Policy so that they accurately reflect our Services and policies. If we decide to change our Cookie Policy, we will post those changes on this page and/or update the modification date above. If you continue to use the Service, you will be bound by the updated Cookie Policy. If you do not want to agree to this or any updated Cookie Policy, you may delete your account.
