1What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to owners.
Cookies can be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (remaining on your device for a set period). They can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services (“third-party cookies”).
Some tools use localStorage — a browser storage mechanism similar to cookies. We use localStorage to store your cookie consent preference.

3Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following reasons:
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This data is anonymised and helps us improve the user experience.
We display advertisements through Google AdSense to generate revenue that allows us to keep FirstJobResume free. AdSense uses cookies to show relevant ads.
We store your cookie consent choice in localStorage so we do not repeatedly show you the consent banner on every page visit.
