Cookies Policy

This website is a prototype created by Mike Eviota. It is here to explore ideas and craft, not to represent a live commercial service—though we still explain cookies clearly, just in case you are curious.

We want JobPortal to feel straightforward, including how we talk about data. This page is a plain-English rundown of what cookies are, which ones we lean on, and what you can do if you prefer less tracking—not a wall of legalese.

If something here does not line up with what you see in your browser or our product, your browser’s privacy tools and our support channels are the best place to double-check.

Cookies are small text files sites save on your device. They are not programs and they cannot run on your machine like an app—they mostly remember “this visitor chose dark mode” or “this session is signed in” so you do not have to set everything again on every click.

Similar technologies (like local storage) can do related jobs. For simplicity we refer to the whole bundle as “cookies” here.

Strictly necessary

These keep the site working: security, load balancing, remembering that you are logged in, and basic session continuity. Without them, things like sign-in and form flows would break often.

Preferences

When you pick a language, theme, or other settings, we may store that so we do not ask you the same question every visit. Turning these off can feel like the site “forgetting” you.

Analytics and improvement

We may use cookies or similar tools to see aggregate patterns—which pages help people, where things get confusing, and whether a change actually helped. We care about trends, not following you around the wider web.

Third parties

Some features (embedded maps, analytics, payment or auth providers) can set their own cookies. We only work with providers we believe are reputable, but their rules live in their own policies.

Session cookies disappear when you close the browser. Persistent cookies last until they expire or you clear them. Exact lifetimes depend on what we set and what partners set—your browser’s cookie list is the source of truth.

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, often per-site. If you block everything, expect sign-in and preferences to be bumpier. If you only clear cookies occasionally, you may need to log in again—that is normal.

We may update this page when our practices or the tech landscape shifts. The date at the top will change when we do; worth a quick skim if you have not read it in a while.
