JobOnIt
Cookie Policy
The short version
JobOnIt uses a session cookie to keep you signed in, and Google Analytics may use analytics cookies to measure visits. There are no advertising cookies, no social sign-in cookies, and no ad-network tracking cookies on this site.
Reading these public pages does not set the sign-in cookie. This page, the Terms, the Privacy Policy and Employer Responsibilities are plain documents that remember no account session between visits, so our server sends no session cookie with them at all. Google Analytics may still set analytics cookies in your browser when the page loads.
The cookies we use
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
jobonit_sess |
Keeps you signed in as you move between pages, and links your browser to your session on our server. Without it you would be signed out on every click. It holds a random identifier only — no name, email, or profile data is stored inside the cookie. | Until you sign out or close your browser |
_ga, _ga_* |
Used by Google Analytics to distinguish visits and produce aggregate measurements such as page views and traffic patterns. JobOnIt does not send account, profile, job, precise location, or contact data to Google Analytics. | Set by Google Analytics; commonly up to 2 years |
The session cookie is restricted to this site (SameSite=Lax), cannot be read by
JavaScript (HttpOnly), and is marked secure when the connection is
HTTPS. This cookie is strictly necessary: signing in is not possible without it.
Security protection that is not a cookie
Every action that changes your data is protected against cross-site request forgery — a trick where another website makes your browser submit something on your behalf. JobOnIt does this with a short-lived signed token placed inside the form itself, so it needs no additional cookie.
Preferences stored in your browser, not in a cookie
Your light/dark theme choice and your EN/ES language choice are saved in your browser's local storage. That is not a cookie: it stays on your device and is never sent to our servers. Clearing your browser's site data resets both to the defaults.
What we do not use
- No advertising or marketing cookies, and no advertising network.
- No social sign-in cookies. Signing in with Google, Facebook, or Apple is not available on JobOnIt today. Sign-in is by one-time email link only. If social sign-in is added later, this page will be updated before it goes live — it is not something we already have and have not mentioned.
- No cross-site tracking of any kind.
Third-party requests
Map backgrounds are loaded from OpenStreetMap, and site measurement is loaded from Google Analytics. Loading content from another site is an ordinary web request; what those providers do on their own side is governed by their own policies. No account, profile, job, precise location, or contact data is sent with those requests by JobOnIt.
Controlling cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the session cookie will keep you from signing in, but the public pages — including this one — will still work.
