Cookie Policy

Effective date: September 7, 2026

ResumeStart (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on resumestart.ai and its subdomains. This policy explains what we use them for and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. We also use browser localStorage for similar purposes. Together these technologies help the site remember you between visits.

This page covers the website only. Our optional Chrome extension does not use cookies — it stores your access token in the browser's extension storage, which is described in Section 5 of our Privacy Policy.

How We Use Cookies

Strictly NecessaryAlways active

Required for core functionality — logging in, keeping your session secure, and remembering your place in the app. Without these the Service cannot work. No consent is required for this category.

FunctionalAlways active

Used to remember your preferences (e.g. selected resume template) and to track anonymous usage quotas for guest users. No personally identifiable information is shared with third parties.

AnalyticsCan be disabled

We use PostHog to understand how people use the Service so we can improve it. PostHog is configured in privacy-friendly mode — data is anonymised, not sold to advertisers, and not used to track you across other websites. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland it does not load until you accept. You can switch it on or off at any time using the control under “How to Control Cookies” below.

Payment ProcessingOnly on payment pages

Stripe sets cookies when you interact with billing or checkout pages for fraud prevention and session management. These are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. We do not control them.

Advertising Measurement

We run the Meta (Facebook) Pixel so we can tell whether people who arrive from our ads go on to use the product. It records page views and your IP address and shares them with Meta.

In the EEA, UK and Switzerland it does not load at all unless you accept analytics on the consent prompt, and declining leaves it switched off. Everywhere else you can switch it off by declining analytics from the same prompt, or by blocking third-party scripts in your browser.

What We Don't Use Cookies For

  • Selling your data to data brokers or ad networks.
  • Training AI models with your personal information.
  • Building advertising profiles of you ourselves, or buying data about you from third parties.

How to Control Cookies

All modern browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies via their privacy or security settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in.

To remove locally stored data (including anonymous guest tokens), clear site data for resumestart.ai in your browser's developer tools under Application → Storage.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when we change how we use cookies. The effective date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced on the Service or by email.
