1. About this policy
Cookies are one kind of browser storage. This policy also covers local storage, session storage and third-party consent or measurement technologies used when you visit www.resumeearth.com. Read the Privacy Policy for information about online tools and information sent to service providers.
2. Cookies and browser storage are different
- Cookies can be set by a site or a loaded service and may be sent back with later requests. Google Analytics and Google advertising services may use cookies when their separate conditions are met.
- Local storage stays in the browser and is not automatically sent with requests. The resume builder uses it for a draft; online tools send relevant information only when you request processing.
- Session storage is browser storage for the current tab or session and is used for short-lived drafts or navigation state.
Clearing “cookies and site data” in your browser removes these entries and your locally saved resume draft. Back up a draft before clearing storage if you want to keep it.
3. First-party browser storage
These entries are written by Resume Earth itself. The analytics preference key stores an analytics choice only; it is not used as ad consent.
| Name | Type | What it does | How long | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| resume-storage | Local storage | Resume draft, selected template and editor state, so the builder can reopen where you left off. | Until you clear this site's data | Resume Earth |
| jobmatch-jd-draft | Session storage | The job description you entered in Job Match, kept while you use that tool and the builder. | Until the tab is closed | Resume Earth |
| resumeearth:scroll-history:v1 | Session storage | Scroll positions for browser history entries, so Back can return to the previous reading position. | Until the tab is closed | Resume Earth |
| re-chunk-retry | Session storage | Records one retry after a route script fails to load, preventing a repeated reload loop. | Until the tab is closed | Resume Earth |
| resumeearth-analytics-consent-v2 | Local storage | Your analytics choice from the notice or Privacy Settings (accepted or rejected). It controls measurement only; it is not advertising consent. | Until you clear this site's data or change your answer | Resume Earth |
| resumeearth-privacy-reload-v1 | Session storage (browser-history fallback) | One-use recovery of drafts and completed tool results when a privacy-triggered reload terminates Clarity. Never used for measurement and never placed in the URL. | Removed on the next application boot; handoffs older than 90 seconds are discarded. If boot does not complete, clear tab/site data and browser history to remove an unconsumed fallback. | Resume Earth |
| resumeearth-analytics-reopen-v1 / resumeearth-analytics-denied-fallback-v1 | Session storage and browser-history state | Reopens the analytics notice and preserves denial if the main preference cannot be written. Contains only preference flags, not resume content or an analytics grant. | Until a new answer is saved or tab/site data is cleared | Resume Earth |
| re-language | Local storage | Your interface language preference. | Until you clear this site's data | Resume Earth |
Two retired keys are removed when the site loads: resumeearth-analytics-consent-v1 belonged to an earlier accept/reject prompt, and resumeearth-analytics-notice-v1only recorded that an informational banner was dismissed. The current analytics answer is resumeearth-analytics-consent-v2.
4. Analytics cookies and your analytics choice
Google Analytics (property G-2EHBMLCKBQ) and Microsoft Clarity load only after you choose Accept in the analytics notice or Privacy Settings. On supported Vercel deployments, Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights follow that same analytics choice. Choosing Reject keeps optional measurement off, records your rejection and removes measurement cookies the site can clear. Google Analytics measures usage; Clarity records sessions, clicks and browsing interactions; Vercel services measure usage and performance where enabled. This choice does not grant or withdraw advertising consent.
| Name | Type | What it does | How long | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Cookie | Google Analytics uses this identifier to distinguish visits. | Provider-controlled; Google's default can be up to 2 years | Google Analytics |
| _ga_2EHBMLCKBQ | Cookie | Google Analytics session state for the configured measurement property. | Provider-controlled; Google's default can be up to 2 years | Google Analytics |
| _clck | Cookie | Microsoft Clarity identifier used to group repeat visits. | Provider-controlled; Clarity's default can be up to 1 year | Microsoft Clarity |
| _clsk | Cookie | Microsoft Clarity session identifier used to group page activity. | Provider-controlled; Clarity's default can be up to 1 day | Microsoft Clarity |
Provider cookie names, settings and lifetimes can change. See Google's information about data on partner sites and the providers' own privacy documentation for current details. Clarity masks resume-preview regions and form fields; the print route is excluded from Clarity recording. Masking is not a guarantee that recordings contain no personal data. Withdrawing after Clarity starts replaces the document to terminate its recorder and attempts to restore drafts and tool results. Already sent or in-flight requests cannot be recalled; the site does not promise to stop every provider request.
5. Advertising cookies and Google's consent message
The AdSense tag is a direct async script in the shared document head and is requested on every page, including the builder and print route. It is not delayed or removed when the visitor denies or has not yet made an ad choice. The page sets Google Consent Mode defaults to denied before the tag runs; the initial script request can still send ordinary page, browser and connection metadata to Google.
Google's separate Funding Choices consent-message bootstrap is eligible on every route of the canonical production host,www.resumeearth.com, including the builder and print route. This bootstrap is not a promise that a message will display: Google decides based on the account's published messages, regional rules and saved choices. Funding Choices may receive ordinary page and connection metadata, then update Google's ad-related Consent Mode signals. That response does not prevent, defer or remove the already-requested AdSense script. Google may store or read consent data, cookies or similar browser storage according to the visitor's region and publisher settings; exact names and lifetimes can vary. Whether Google renders ads on a particular route depends on account settings and cannot be confirmed from this repository. Google documents its data use here.
Privacy Settings opens the same preference interface from this page, the navbar or the footer, without sending you to an article. Its EU / UK / Swiss button requests Google's consent or revocation message through the existing readiness queue. An invocation is not confirmation that Google displayed a message or that an advertising choice changed. If controls are unavailable, no changed choice is confirmed.
US state opt-outs are different: use Google's published Do Not Sell or Share control where applicable. Google uses GPP for US-state signals. Its showRevocationMessage() API reopens the EU-regulations message and is not a universal US opt-out. The custom US confirmation API requires an overridden Google link, supported in Ad Manager; this site does not set that override or replace Google's US link.
6. Services used when you request them
These services process data only when you use the related feature or consent to the relevant service. The provider's own terms and privacy practices apply.
- AI features: resume tailoring, job match, cover letters and writing helpers send relevant resume or job text to Resume Earth's server and a configured AI provider. Provider credentials are server-side, not stored in browser storage.
- Contact form: if enabled, the name, email, subject and message are sent through EmailJS for delivery.
- PDF generation: a configured PDF service may receive the document in a POST request; local export paths render in the browser.
7. Your choices
- Delete drafts: clear this site's browser storage after backing up any resume you need to keep.
- Change analytics choice: open Privacy Settings below or in the navbar. Accept, reject or withdraw measurement immediately, or turn it off and reopen the notice. An unverified storage write is reported, not described as saved. Other tabs or later visits may use an older choice if saving fails.
- Change ad choices: use the independent advertising section in Privacy Settings for the EU / UK / Swiss message; applicable US opt-outs use Google's published Do Not Sell or Share control. No article navigation is needed.
- Browser controls: most browsers let you block or delete cookies and other site data. This may affect saved drafts and provider preferences.
Resume Earth does not currently change its behavior in response to Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals. Use the controls above to change the site's analytics choice or access Google's regional controls. Google may independently handle browser signals under its own regional configuration; this site does not certify that behavior.
8. Changes to this policy
This list changes when the site's storage, services or consent behavior changes. The date above will be revised when this page is updated. Substantial changes to information handling are also described in the Privacy Policy.
