Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. DF Talent also uses local storage, which allows data to be stored in your browser for session management and preferences.

2. Essential Cookies and Storage

We use essential cookies and local storage for the following purposes:

• Authentication: storing your session token so you remain logged in as you navigate the platform.
• Security: maintaining session integrity and preventing unauthorized access.
• Functional: remembering your theme preference (light or dark mode) and navigation state.

These technologies are necessary for the platform to function. Disabling them may prevent you from logging in or using core features.

3. Preference and Functional Technologies

We store your display preferences, such as theme selection (light, dark, or system), using local storage. This data remains on your device and is not sent to our servers.

4. Analytics and Advertising

We do not currently use advertising cookies or third-party advertising networks. We may use basic analytics to understand platform usage, but we do not embed third-party analytics cookies at this time. If we add analytics or advertising technologies in the future, we will update this policy and provide appropriate notice.

5. Third-Party Services

Some features of DF Talent involve third-party services that may set their own cookies:

• Google sign-in: if you use Google to sign in, Google may set cookies as part of the authentication process.
• Google Calendar: if you connect your Google Calendar for interview scheduling, Google manages its own session cookies.
• Payment provider (Stripe): when you use checkout, Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention and session security on its own pages.

These third-party services are governed by their own cookie and privacy policies.

6. Managing Cookie Preferences

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View all cookies stored on your device.
• Delete individual or all cookies.
• Block cookies from specific sites.
• Set preferences for first-party and third-party cookies.

Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the platform. Functional cookies can be disabled without affecting core functionality, but you may lose preference settings.

7. Consent

By using DF Talent, you consent to the use of essential cookies and local storage as described in this policy. Essential cookies do not require separate consent because they are necessary for the service to function. If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will obtain your consent before enabling them.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of technologies changes. The effective date above indicates when the policy was last revised.
