What cookies are
Cookies are small text files your browser stores on your device when you visit a site. We use them to remember you between visits (otherwise you'd have to log in every time) and to understand how you use the service.
Necessary cookies
Without these the service doesn't work — they cannot be disabled:
- Session auth token (so you stay logged in)
- CSRF protection on forms and API requests
- Cookie-banner consent flag (so we don't show it again)
- Page locale memory (/ vs /en)
Functional cookies
These improve UX, but the site works without them:
- Selected theme (light / dark)
- Profile and resume completion progress
- Last-used auto-apply filters
- Open/closed state of collapsible blocks
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how to improve the product. Disable via the cookie banner on first visit or in your browser settings:
- Yandex Metrica — visit statistics, anonymized heatmap sessions
- Google Analytics — aggregate traffic metrics (only when enabled)
- Sentry — frontend and backend error tracking, no personal data
Third-party cookies
On pages that use external services, those services set their own cookies:
- OAuth providers (Google, HH.ru, LinkedIn) — when you sign in via social
- YooKassa / Platega — when you start a paid subscription
- Cloudflare — DDoS protection and caching (required, not removable)
How to manage cookies
You have several options:
- Cookie banner on first visit — opt in/out of analytics and functional cookies
- Browser settings — block entirely or clear on close
- Incognito mode — cookies are wiped when the window closes
- Account settings — toggle functional preferences off
Cookie lifetime
Two types by duration:
- Session cookies — deleted when the browser closes (e.g. temporary form tokens)
- Persistent cookies — live from 30 days to 12 months, or until you delete them manually (auth, theme)
Policy updates
The current version is always on this page. The last-updated date is shown at the top. Substantial changes are announced in the product Telegram channel and by email.
