Cookie Policy

This policy explains how LadderStar uses cookies, local storage, SDK storage, and similar technologies.

Effective date and last updated: May 3, 2026

1. Why we use these technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep users signed in, secure accounts, remember preferences, measure performance, understand product usage, support checkout, prevent fraud, and keep LadderStar reliable.

2. Categories

Required technologies support authentication, security, account state, and checkout. Preference technologies remember settings. Analytics and performance technologies, including Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights, help us understand traffic, speed, and errors. Third-party SDKs such as Firebase and Stripe may set or read storage needed for their services. Personalization technologies cache recently viewed job categories, tags, and keywords to rank relevant opportunities in “Top Listings for You”.

3. Personalization & Recommendation Caching

If you consent to personalization, we cache your job board interest signals locally in a secure cookie/cache. This allows the system to instantly score and sort relevant jobs to match your career direction at the top of the job feed. You can disable this at any time in the cookie preference manager.

4. Your choices

You can control cookies through our Cookie Preferences manager (located in the consent banner or settings) or via browser settings. Blocking required authentication, Firebase, or Stripe storage may prevent sign-in, billing, profile, messaging, or interview features from working. Some jurisdictions may provide additional opt-out rights for analytics or personalization technologies where applicable.
