Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how ResReader uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our AI-powered resume analysis platform. By using our service, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and improve your browsing experience. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the platform to function properly. These enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and session management. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our platform by collecting anonymous data about page views, navigation patterns, and feature usage.

• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings (such as language preference, display options) to provide a personalized experience.

• Performance Cookies: Collect information about how the platform performs, helping us identify and fix issues to improve speed and reliability.

3. Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the platform to function:

• Authentication cookies to keep you securely logged in

• Security cookies to protect against fraudulent activity

• Session cookies to maintain your state during a browsing session

• Load balancing cookies to ensure optimal server performance

4. Analytics and Performance

We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics and Firebase Analytics) to understand how users interact with our platform. These tools help us measure traffic, analyze user behavior, identify popular features, improve user experience, and monitor platform performance. Analytics data is collected anonymously and does not personally identify you.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use:

• Firebase: For authentication and real-time database functionality

• Stripe: For secure payment processing (only when making purchases)

• Google Analytics: For website traffic analysis

These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use cookies and data.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through the consent banner on our website — choose Accept all, Reject all, or Manage preferences to set each category — and through your browser. Options include:

• Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect platform functionality.

• Browser Extensions: Various browser extensions can help you manage cookies and tracking.

• Our Cookie Banner: When you first visit, you can choose which non-essential cookies to accept.

• Opt-Out Links: You can opt out of Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

7. Cookie Retention

Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for varying periods: authentication cookies typically last 30 days, analytics cookies may persist for up to 2 years, and preference cookies are retained until you clear them or they expire.

8. Your Consent

When you first visit ResReader, a consent banner lets you Accept all, Reject all, or Manage preferences by category (necessary, statistics, marketing). Non-essential cookies (statistics and marketing) are off by default and are only set after you opt in; essential cookies are always active because they are required for the platform to function. Analytics and advertising tags are gated through Google Consent Mode, so they do not load until you consent. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time, and rejecting is as easy as accepting.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on our platform with an updated "Last Updated" date.
