Cookie Policy

The cookies and browser storage we use, what each one does, and how to opt out.

Last updated May 22, 2026

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser so it can remember things between requests — like which deployment region served you or what theme you prefer. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage, which work the same way but are stored entirely by the browser rather than sent back to a server on each request.

Cookie policies usually sort storage into four categories: strictly necessary (the site cannot work without them), functional (remember preferences), analytics (measure usage), and advertising (build profiles for ads). The AI Recruiter by Nexprove only uses items in the first two categories. We do not run analytics pixels, ad trackers, or cross-site profiling on this product today, and the table below reflects exactly what is in the browser when you visit.

Cookies and storage we use

The table below covers everything the product currently sets or reads in your browser. Where retention says session, the value disappears when you close the tab or browser. Where it says until cleared, the value remains until you remove it through browser settings.

Analytics / AdvertisingNone. We do not run product analytics, marketing pixels, ad trackers, or cross-site profiling on this product. This is a deliberate choice, not an oversight.

If we ever add analytics or other non-essential storage, this table and the policy date at the top will be updated before the change goes live, and EU/UK visitors will see a consent banner first.

Third parties that may set cookies

Because we host on Vercel, a small number of infrastructure cookies are set on our domain by the platform. They support request routing, deploy previews, and protection against abuse. They are first-party from your browser's perspective and are not used to profile you or follow you across other websites.

The subprocessors involved in serving the product, and what they place in your browser:

  • Vercel — hosting and edge routing. Sets short-lived infrastructure cookies (__vercel_*) on our domain.
  • Neon — managed Postgres database. Reached only from our servers; sets no cookies in your browser.
  • LiveKit — real-time voice transport used during interviews. Uses WebRTC over secure sockets and does not set HTTP cookies in the candidate browser.

We do not embed third-party scripts from advertising networks, social platforms, or analytics vendors, so you will not see cookies from Google, Meta, LinkedIn, or similar providers on this product. A full subprocessor list lives in the Data Handling policy, and we will update this section first if a new vendor that sets cookies is added.

How to control cookies and storage

You can manage cookies and local storage directly in your browser. Most browsers let you:

  • Block or allow cookies per site under privacy or security settings.
  • Clear cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage for a specific site at any time.
  • Use private or incognito windows, which discard storage when the window closes.
  • Install a browser extension such as Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin for finer control.

A few things to know before you clear everything. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the product — including live interviews — may stop working, because they rely on routing and session continuity. Clearing localStorage will reset your theme preference to the system default; the next visit will simply ask the browser again.

Because we do not currently run advertising or analytics trackers, there is no in-product consent banner to dismiss and nothing extra to opt out of beyond your browser settings.

EU/UK visitors, Do Not Track, and Global Privacy Control

Under the EU ePrivacy Directive, UK PECR, and GDPR, a consent banner is only required before placing cookies that are not strictly necessary for the service the visitor requested. The cookies and storage listed above are all strictly necessary or functional preferences that you control yourself, so the law does not require us to interrupt your visit with a banner — and we do not. The moment we add anything analytics- or advertising-related, a clear consent banner with granular per-category choices will appear for EU and UK visitors before any non-essential cookie is set, and we will update this policy at the same time.

We also respect browser-level privacy signals. Because we run no analytics or ad trackers, there is currently nothing to suppress when your browser sends a Do Not Track (DNT) header or a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If we introduce optional cookies later, a GPC signal will be honoured as a valid opt-out of sale or sharing of personal information under CCPA/CPRA and equivalent state laws, and DNT will be treated as a do-not-set-analytics preference. We will update this policy when our use of cookies or browser storage changes — for example if we introduce product analytics, add a new subprocessor that sets cookies, or adjust retention windows. The “last updated” date at the top of the page always reflects the current version, and material changes that affect candidates or recruiters will also be flagged in the product.
