Cookie Policy
Last updated: 22 May 2026
Effective from: 13 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how CAREERSFORYOU LIMITED ("Cafy", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on cafy.careers.
This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy (cafy.careers/privacy).
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, and give us information about how you use the site.
We also use similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDKs) that function in a similar way. References to "cookies" in this Policy include those technologies.
2. THE COOKIES WE USE
We group cookies into four categories. You can manage your preferences at any time via the cookie banner or by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the site footer.
A. STRICTLY NECESSARY (always on, no consent required)
Without these, the Service cannot function.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cafy_session | Keeps you logged in | Session |
| cafy_csrf | Protects against cross-site request forgery | Session |
| cafy_consent | Stores your cookie preferences | 12 months |
| stripe_* | Stripe fraud prevention and payment processing | Session / 1 year |
B. ANALYTICS (consent required)
These help us understand how the Service is used so we can improve it. You can opt out without affecting core functionality.
| Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Aggregate traffic and behaviour data | 14 months |
| Google Search Console | Indexing and search performance tracking (operates server-side) | n/a |
| PostHog | Product analytics, feature usage, funnels | 12 months |
We configure these tools to IP-anonymise where possible.
C. FUNCTIONAL (consent required)
These remember your preferences and choices.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cafy_theme | Stores light/dark mode preference | 12 months |
| cafy_locale | Remembers your language preference | 12 months |
| cafy_dashboard_* | Remembers dashboard layout choices | 12 months |
D. MARKETING (consent required)
We do not currently set marketing cookies.
If we add advertising cookies in future (for example, retargeting via Meta or Google Ads), we will update this Policy and require fresh consent before activating them.
3. YOUR CHOICES
3.1 When you first visit cafy.careers, you will see a cookie banner with options to:
- Accept all
- Reject non-essential
- Customise by category
3.2 You can change your choice at any time:
- Click "Cookie Settings" in the site footer
- Or clear your browser cookies (this resets your preferences)
3.3 Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled — the Service cannot function without them.
3.4 Your browser also offers controls to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may prevent you from logging in or using paid features.
4. DO NOT TRACK
Browser "Do Not Track" signals are not yet standardised. We currently do not respond to them, but we honour your choices set via our cookie banner which give you equivalent control.
5. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Some cookies are set by third parties when you use features that integrate with their services (e.g. Stripe checkout, embedded YouTube videos, embedded LinkedIn previews).
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing them:
- Stripe: stripe.com/privacy
- Google: policies.google.com/privacy
- PostHog: posthog.com/privacy
- LinkedIn: linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
- YouTube / Google: policies.google.com/privacy
6. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Policy as we add or change cookies. The "Last updated" date at the top tells you when it last changed. If we make material changes, we will surface a new banner on the site so you can review and re-consent where relevant.
