1. What are cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Similar technologies include browser local storage, session storage, and software development kits that store or access information in your browser.
Some cookies and storage entries are deleted when you close your browser or tab. Others remain until they expire, you delete them, or you change your browser settings.
2. How we use cookies and browser storage
CVMom uses cookies and similar browser storage for four purposes:
- Essential operation: keeping you logged in, securing sessions, remembering onboarding state, and storing your cookie preferences.
- Security and diagnostics: detecting frontend errors, debugging production issues, monitoring performance, and understanding what happened before an error.
- Consent-based analytics: understanding product adoption and improving signup, onboarding, billing, job-search, AI-tool, and document-export flows when you opt in.
- Push notifications: supporting browser push notifications if you enable them in your browser and account settings.
Essential and diagnostics technologies are enabled because they help us provide, secure, and maintain the Platform. Analytics technologies are disabled by default and only activate after you opt in through Cookie Settings.

Depending on browser and deployment security context, authentication cookie names may use secure prefixes such as __Secure- or __Host- while serving the same authentication purpose.
4. Analytics, diagnostics, and session replay
If you opt in to analytics, CVMom sends limited product usage events to PostHog, our analytics processor. These events help us understand product adoption and improve key flows. PostHog session recording is disabled.
CVMom also uses Sentry for application error monitoring, performance diagnostics, and error-triggered session replay. Sentry Replay helps us understand what happened before and during frontend errors so we can reproduce and fix production issues.
Sentry Replay is not a pixel-by-pixel screen recording. It reconstructs browser DOM state and user interactions such as navigation, clicks, scrolling, console events, frontend errors, and network timing. Sentry Replay uses browser session storage rather than cookies so that diagnostic context can continue across page loads in the same tab/window.
Sentry’s default Replay privacy controls mask page text, user input, and media before replay data leaves the browser. We do not use Sentry Replay for advertising, cross-site tracking, or marketing profiling.
We do not sell cookie or analytics data. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site advertising trackers.
