Cookies Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to make the site work, remember preferences, and collect information about how you use the site. This page explains which cookies SponsoredJobs uses and how to control them.
Cookies we use
Essential cookies
These are required for the site to function. Without them parts of the site will not work. We use them to:
- Keep you signed in to your employer account (Auth.js session cookie).
- Protect form submissions against cross-site request forgery.
- Remember which tier you selected while posting a job, for the length of your session.
Essential cookies do not require consent under UK and EU law because they are strictly necessary for a service you have requested.
Third-party cookies
When you pay for a listing, Stripe handles the checkout and may set its own cookies to process the payment and prevent fraud. These cookies are governed by Stripe's privacy policy. Our site is delivered via Cloudflare, which may set a __cf_bm cookie to identify trusted web traffic; see Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to see which job pages get the most visits. These cookies are only set if you accept on the consent banner that appears on your first visit. By default they stay off and the site sends no Google Analytics data. If you reject or take no action, no analytics cookies are stored.
You can change your choice any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer. Your choice is stored in your browser and remembered for six months.
Advertising cookies
SponsoredJobs does not use advertising cookies. If that changes we will update this page and prompt you for consent before loading them.
Controlling cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking essential cookies will break sign-in and parts of the paid-listing flow. Browser-specific instructions:

If we add new cookies, we will update this page and the "last updated" date above. Revisit this page periodically to stay informed.
