Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over time — for example, keeping you logged in or remembering your display settings.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They can only be read by the website that set them (first-party cookies) or, in some cases, by third-party services that the website uses (third-party cookies).

Cookies are identified by a name, a value, a domain, and an expiry date. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until their expiry date or until you delete them manually.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always Active

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, core features such as authentication and form protection cannot operate. They cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

Optional

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with AiResumeFit — which pages are visited most, how long users stay, and where they come from. This helps us improve the product. IP addresses are anonymized before processing and no personally identifiable information is sent to Google.

What data is collected: pages visited, time on page, browser type, operating system, approximate geographic region (country/city level), referral source, and interaction events (e.g., button clicks). We do not collect your name, email, or resume content via analytics cookies.

Opt out of Google Analytics at any time via Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

Optional

AiResumeFit displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads that are relevant to you based on your visits to this site and other websites across the internet. This is called interest-based advertising (IBA).

How interest-based advertising works: Google tracks your browsing behaviour across millions of websites that partner with Google. Based on the topics and categories of sites you visit, Google builds an interest profile and shows ads it predicts you are likely to find relevant. For example, if you frequently visit career and tech websites, you may see ads for developer tools or job platforms.

AiResumeFit does not control which specific ads Google displays, nor does it receive any of the data Google collects for ad targeting. The data collected via AdSense cookies is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Cookie NamePurposeDurationCan Be Disabled?
IDEDoubleClick cookie — used for ad targeting, measurement, and remarketing13 monthsYes
test_cookieChecks if browser supports cookies (DoubleClick)15 minutesYes
NID, ANIDGoogle preference and ad personalisation cookies6 monthsYes

Opt out of interest-based ads via Google Ad Settings or via the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out.

Functional Cookies

Optional

Functional cookies remember your preferences so we can personalise your experience. Examples include remembering your selected theme or any display preferences you set. Disabling these cookies will not break the site but your preferences will not be saved between sessions.
