Cookie Policy

Last updated 2026-05-01.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. VitalCV uses cookies to keep you signed in, understand how the product is used, and support hosting infrastructure. We do not use advertising cookies or sell data to third-party advertisers.

Consent posture

Essential cookies are required for the service to function and are set on sign-in. Analytics cookies (PostHog) are set only when analytics is enabled in the deployment configuration. Infrastructure cookies are set by our hosting provider (Vercel) as a necessary part of serving the application.

VitalCV does not currently serve a cookie-consent banner for essential or infrastructure cookies, as these are necessary to provide the service. If you have a consent or GDPR inquiry, contact privacy@vitalcv.com.
