1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies help us remember your preferences and keep you securely logged in.
2. How We Use Cookies
RecoAI uses only strictly essential cookies that are necessary for the Platform to function properly. We do not use any advertising, analytics, or third-party tracking cookies.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Type | Duration | HttpOnly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
access_token
|
Stores your authentication session as a secure JSON Web Token (JWT). This cookie keeps you logged in as you navigate between pages. | Essential | 24 hours | check_circle |
lang
|
Stores your preferred language (English or Arabic) so the Platform displays content in your chosen language on subsequent visits. | Essential | 1 year | check_circle |
3. Cookie Details
3.1 Authentication Cookie (access_token)
This cookie is created when you log in to the Platform, either by entering your credentials or signing in with Google. It contains an encrypted JSON Web Token that verifies your identity without transmitting your password. Key characteristics:
- HttpOnly: The cookie cannot be accessed by JavaScript, protecting against cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
- SameSite: Set to "Lax" to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
- Expiration: Automatically expires after 24 hours, requiring you to log in again
- Content: Contains your user ID, role (candidate/company/admin), and email — never your password
3.2 Language Preference Cookie (lang)
This cookie is set when you change the display language of the Platform using the language switcher. It stores your preference so you don't have to select your language every time you visit. Key characteristics:
- HttpOnly: The cookie cannot be accessed by JavaScript for added security
- SameSite: Set to "Lax" for security
- Expiration: Expires after 1 year
- Content: A simple language code (either "en" for English or "ar" for Arabic)
4. Third-Party Cookies
No Third-Party Cookies
RecoAI does not use any third-party advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies. The only cookies on our Platform are the two essential first-party cookies described above.
5. Managing Cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies stored on your device
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block cookies from being set
- Set preferences for specific websites
Important Notice
Since both our cookies are essential for Platform functionality, disabling them will
affect your experience. Blocking the access_token
cookie will prevent you from logging in, and blocking the lang cookie
will reset your language preference on each visit.
6. Logging Out & Cookie Removal
When you log out of the Platform, the access_token cookie is
automatically deleted. Your language preference cookie will remain so your language choice is
preserved for your next visit. To remove all cookies, you can clear your browser data for the
RecoAI domain.
7. Changes to This Policy
If we add new cookies or change how existing cookies work, we will update this Cookie Policy with the new details and revision date. Since we only use essential cookies, we do not request cookie consent via a banner, but we encourage you to review this page periodically.
