We use cookies and similar technologies to run our site, understand usage, and show relevant offers.
You can change your choices any time in Cookie Preferences.
TL;DR (Summary)
- Strictly necessary cookies are always on; analytics and advertising or affiliate cookies are optional.
- We use analytics to improve UX and content. You can opt out any time in Cookie Preferences.
- Advertising and affiliate cookies help measure referrals and show relevant offers. No auto-play audio, no pop-under.
- You can change your choices any time in Cookie Preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites work and remember information. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, SDK identifiers, and device identifiers. In this policy, we use the word “cookies” to cover cookies and similar technologies unless we say otherwise.
Cookies can be set by FreeResumeHub (first-party) or by services we use (third-party). Cookies can also be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (kept for a set period).
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Required for core functions (security, basic performance, preferences, fraud prevention). Always on. |
| Analytics | Helps us understand usage so we can improve pages, navigation, and template discovery. |
| Advertising & Affiliates | Measures referrals and conversions and helps show relevant offers. Optional and controlled via consent. |
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. If you disable a category, related features may be limited. Core site pages should still work with only strictly necessary cookies enabled.
3. Practical Examples
- Strictly necessary: remembering a basic setting, keeping the site secure, and preventing abuse.
- Analytics: understanding which template pages are used most, which sections readers skip, and where navigation causes friction.
- Advertising and affiliates: attributing a referral if you click an offer link and later purchase, or reducing repeated irrelevant ads.
We aim to keep measurement and monetization lightweight. If a format harms readability or usability, we do not consider it worth the trade.
4. Purposes and Legal Bases
- Necessary: legitimate interest in operating the Service securely and reliably.
- Analytics: consent, which you can withdraw any time.
- Advertising and affiliates: consent; disclosures per our Disclosure.
If you are in a jurisdiction that requires consent for certain cookies, we ask before enabling them. If you decline, the site should still function with core features available.
5. How to Manage Cookies
- Use Cookie Preferences to enable or disable non-essential cookies.
- Browser controls: you can block or delete cookies in settings. This may affect some site features.
- Some partners provide their own opt-out tools. Where relevant, you can use those options as well.
If you clear cookies, your choices may reset and you may be asked again the next time you visit.
6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no consistent industry standard for how websites must respond to it. We primarily use our consent controls to manage tracking categories.
If you want the strongest control, use Cookie Preferences plus your browser and device settings to block third-party cookies where available.
7. Retention
Cookie lifetimes vary by category and by vendor. Session cookies are removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them.
We keep data only as long as needed for the stated purpose, to resolve issues, or to comply with legal requirements.
8. Third-Party Services
Some pages may include third-party services for analytics, advertising, or affiliate attribution. These providers may set cookies or similar identifiers to deliver their services.
- We choose vendors that support consent controls and clear documentation.
- We avoid formats that interrupt reading (no auto-play audio, no pop-under).
- We aim to keep tracking minimal and purpose-based.
9. Children’s Privacy
FreeResumeHub is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in a way that requires special handling. If you believe we have collected data improperly, please contact us so we can review and address the issue.
10. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted here. The “Last updated” date reflects the latest revision.
