Cookie policy

What the application stores in your browser and why.

Last updated 8 October 2026

Sign-in and security cookies

These cookies support sign-in and request security. Their lifetimes are configurable for each deployment; the table shows the defaults.

Local and session storage

Browser storage is separate from cookies. Local storage stays until you clear it or the application replaces or removes an entry. Session storage belongs to the current browser tab and normally clears when that tab closes.

KeyStorageWhat it does
themeLocal storageRemembers your light or dark theme.
gz_auth_sideLocal storageRemembers whether you selected job seeker or employer on the sign-in page.
gz:session:refresh-afterLocal storageCoordinates session refresh attempts between browser tabs; it does not store a sign-in token.
growtriz:assistant-widgetLocal storageRemembers whether you tucked away the assistant widget.
growtriz:assistant-history:…Session storageKeeps recent assistant messages for the current session and audience in this tab.

What we do not set

No advertising cookies. No third-party trackers. No cross-site pixels. We do not sell your browsing behaviour, so there is nothing for those cookies to do.

Turning them off

You can clear cookies and browser storage in your browser settings. Clearing sign-in cookies signs you out, and blocking them prevents sign-in from working. Clearing preference storage resets your saved choices; clearing assistant session storage removes the conversation saved in that tab.
