Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 21, 2026
RecruitFractional uses a small number of cookies and browser storage entries. Some are required for the site to work at all. The rest are optional and only run if you consent. This page lists every category, what it does, and how to change your mind.
1. What we use
"Cookies" here covers cookies and equivalent browser storage such as localStorage and sessionStorage. We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or third-party ad networks, and we do not sell or share your information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
2. Strictly necessary
These are required to sign in, keep your session, and protect the platform. They cannot be switched off, and consent is not required for them.
| Name | Purpose | Type and duration |
|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Keeps you signed in and refreshes your session. | localStorage, until sign-out or expiry |
| rf_cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie choices so we do not ask again. | localStorage, 12 months |
| Hosting and security cookies | Route requests, balance load, and block abuse at the edge. | Cookie, session to 12 months |
| Stripe checkout cookies | Set by Stripe on the payment pages to process a payment and prevent fraud. | Cookie, session to 12 months |
3. Functional (optional)
These remember preferences that make the product nicer to use, such as a collapsed dashboard sidebar, a dismissed banner, or a recently used filter. Turning them off does not break the platform; you may just have to set things again.
4. Analytics (optional)
These measure aggregate product usage such as which pages and features are used, so we can improve them. Nothing in this category is written until you accept it, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles or share it with ad networks.
| Name | Purpose | Type and duration |
|---|---|---|
| rf_visitor_id | A random identifier so repeat visits from this browser count once. It is not linked to any advertising profile and is only created after you accept analytics storage. | localStorage, until you clear site data |
| Funnel events | Records the page and moment of a few actions — starting or sending a hiring enquiry, starting signup, applying to a role, choosing a plan, reaching checkout — so we can see where people get stuck. Stored on our own servers, not with an ad network. | Server-side record, typically up to 24 months |
If you decline, or have not yet chosen, none of the above is created and no funnel event is recorded. Signed-in dashboard metrics such as profile views, role listing views, and submission performance are recorded server-side as part of the service and are covered by our Privacy Policy rather than by consent.
5. Changing your choices
- On your first visit a small notice appears with Decline, Accept, and a Manage link that opens the detailed preferences.
- You can change your choices at any time with the control, also linked in the site footer.
- Rejecting non-essential storage keeps strictly necessary items only, and the platform continues to work.
- If we materially change this policy we will ask again.
- We honor Global Privacy Control and do-not-track browser signals for optional storage.
6. Browser controls
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and site data from its privacy settings. Blocking strictly necessary items will sign you out and may prevent checkout from completing. Questions about this policy: privacy@recruitfractional.com.
