This page explains the minimal cookie usage required to keep Job Tracker IT secure and functional across the website and browser extension.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide session persistence.

2. Our Minimalist Approach to Cookies

As a non-profit service focused on privacy and data collection, we keep our use of cookies to the absolute minimum.

Our service (including the browser extension) uses exactly one (1) cookie:

We do not use any tracking, advertising, or third-party analytical cookies.

  • Authentication Cookie (Essential): This cookie is strictly necessary for the Service to function. It is used solely for account authentication, allowing both the website and the browser extension to identify your session and keep you logged in as you navigate the platform or collect data.

3. Browser Extension and Data Collection

The browser extension utilizes the same single authentication cookie mentioned above to maintain your session. Outside of this authentication cookie, the extension does not store or collect any additional data via Browser Local Storage or other local storage mechanisms. Information obtained through data collection is only transmitted to our database when you explicitly choose to save it.

4. Managing Cookies

Because the single cookie we use is essential for the service to function (authentication), disabling it through your browser settings will prevent you from logging in or accessing account-based features on both the website and the extension.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if the technical requirements of our authentication system change.

7. Contact Us

If you have questions about our use of this authentication cookie, please contact us through the platform.
