This Cookie Policy explains how Resume Gear ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies — such as browser local storage — on our website and web portals at resumegears.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. Similar technologies include browser local storage, which lets a website store small amounts of data in your browser. In this policy, "cookies" refers to both unless stated otherwise.
Our Approach in Short
- The Resume Gear website itself does not set any cookies.
- We do not use analytics, advertising, retargeting, social media, or cross-site tracking cookies anywhere.
- We use one item of browser local storage to keep recruiters signed in to the Recruiter Portal.
- Our payment provider, Stripe, sets its own cookies during checkout for security and fraud prevention.
Because everything we use is strictly necessary for the Service to work, we do not display a cookie consent banner. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies (for example, analytics), we will update this policy and request consent where required by law.
Storage We Set (First Party)
The acceptance of our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service before downloading the app is held only in page memory for your current visit — it is not stored in a cookie or local storage.
Third-Party Cookies (Stripe Payments)
When you purchase credits, payment is handled by Stripe, our payment processor. Stripe sets its own cookies to process the payment securely and to detect and prevent fraud — for example:
These cookies are essential for secure payment processing. Stripe acts as an independent controller of this data; see Stripe's Cookie Policy for details.
Other Third-Party Content
Our pages load the Poppins font from Google Fonts. The Google Fonts service does not set cookies, but your browser sends your IP address to Google's servers as part of requesting the font files. See Google Fonts privacy information.
The Desktop Application
The Resume Gear desktop application stores your resume information and settings locally on your own device as application data, not as website cookies. How that information is handled is described in our Privacy Policy.
How to Manage Cookies and Local Storage
You can control, delete, or block cookies and site data through your browser settings — look for "Cookies and site data" or "Privacy" in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. Please note:
- Clearing site data for resumegears.com signs you out of the Recruiter Portal; you can sign back in with a new email verification code.
- Blocking Stripe's cookies may prevent checkout from completing, as they are required for secure payment.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, if we add new features that use cookies. The updated version will be posted with a revised Effective Date.
