Cookie Policy

Last updated: 24 September 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies and localStorage are small pieces of data stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and improve your experience.

In compliance with the German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG §25), we ask for your explicit consent before loading any non-essential cookies or tracking scripts. You can manage your preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the footer.

How We Use Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function (TTDSG §25 Abs. 2 Nr. 2). They cannot be disabled.

Optional Functional Storage (User Controlled)

Career Radar does not store a CV file, filename, pasted text, or extracted CV text. If you explicitly choose Save on this device, it stores the following derived workspace locally:

Storage	Key	Purpose	Duration
localStorage	`misujob.career-radar.workspace.v2`	Restore recognised market signals, evidence snapshot metrics, selected role directions, and checklist state	Until you choose Remove device save, start again with another CV, or clear browser storage

This optional record is not required to run Career Radar. You can use the download instead, remove the record from the workspace, or clear it through your browser settings.

The Career Radar and account pages send no analytics events, with or without consent. MisuJob counts free results, report views and downloads only as daily totals on its servers, without cookies and without linking them to you.

These cookies are only loaded after you give explicit consent via our cookie banner. They help us understand how the service is used and improve it.

Service	Purpose	Data Collected
Google Analytics 4	Page views, feature usage, user journeys	Anonymised usage data
PostHog	Event tracking; session recording is disabled	Pseudonymous interaction data

We do not share data with third-party advertisers. Analytics data is used solely to improve MisuJob.

To withdraw consent: Click “Cookie Settings” in the footer at any time. This will remove analytics cookies and stop all tracking.

Third-Party Cookies

Stripe (Payment Processing)

When you pay for a Career Move Report, you enter your payment details on Stripe’s own payment page (checkout.stripe.com), where Stripe sets the essential cookies it needs for payment and fraud prevention. MisuJob sets no Stripe cookie on its own pages. Stripe may also set essential cookies when an existing customer opens a historical billing-support flow.
