Almost Senior

Cookie Policy

Version: draft 1 · Effective: date · 5 min read

Draft: the boxed fields are not filled in yet.

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. "Local storage" is similar storage that only the page itself can read. This page lists everything Almost Senior stores in your browser, and what we load from other companies.

Your choice

  • Necessary cookies and storage are always on: without them you can't sign in, and the site forgets your settings. The law doesn't require consent for them.

  • Analytics and advertising cookies are off until you click "Accept" in the cookie banner. "Reject" is just as easy, and the site works the same either way.

  • Screen recordings (PostHog) are a separate choice with their own "Accept" and "Reject" in the same banner. Accepting analytics doesn't turn recordings on, and the other way round.

  • You can change your mind at any time: Cookie settings in the site footer.

We use Google Consent Mode. Until you accept, the Google tag isn't loaded at all. The PostHog code isn't loaded either until you accept recordings.

We set Google Analytics to keep data for 2 months and turn off Google signals and ad personalisation confirm. Google's own information: How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Screen recordings and heatmaps (only with consent)

If you accept recordings, we use PostHog to record how you use the landing page, the vacancy feed, the template gallery and the CV builder: where you click and scroll, and how the page looks as you do. We never record the sign-in window, the legal pages, Settings, "My vacancies", your saved CVs or the admin pages. Recordings are kept for 30 days confirm the retention set in the PostHog project. What is masked, and who PostHog is: Privacy Policy.
