How cookies and similar technologies may be used.

This Cookie Policy explains how Vauntless Career Studio may use cookies, local storage, pixels, SDKs, analytics tools, and similar technologies across its public website, checkout and onboarding flows, hosted client sites, authentication systems, and related services.

This page should be read together with the Vauntless Career Studio Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information is collected, used, shared, and retained.

Cookies are small text files placed on a browser or device. Similar technologies, such as local storage or pixels, can store or read information to help a website operate, remember settings, measure performance, or secure user activity.

Some cookies are required for core functions. Others may be optional, depending on which analytics, marketing, or product tools are enabled.

Essential cookies and similar technologies may be used to operate the site, route requests, maintain security, prevent fraud, remember checkout or intake state, support authentication, and keep the platform functioning.

These technologies may be set by Vauntless Career Studio or by service providers that support hosting, security, payments, authentication, veteran verification, forms, email delivery, or file uploads.

Vauntless Career Studio may use analytics tools to understand how visitors find and use public pages, which pages are performing, where users encounter friction, and how the service can be improved.

Analytics may include page views, referral sources, browser or device information, approximate location, interaction events, timestamps, and similar usage information. Analytics should be configured to collect only what is reasonably useful for operating and improving the service.

If Vauntless Career Studio enables account access through Clerk, Google, or another authentication provider, cookies or similar technologies may be used to keep users signed in, protect sessions, verify identity, and prevent unauthorized access.

Authentication providers may set their own cookies according to their terms and privacy practices.

Stripe, ID.me, and similar providers may use cookies, device identifiers, fraud signals, or other technologies to process payments, verify eligibility, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, and secure transactions.

Vauntless Career Studio does not control every cookie or technology used by third-party providers when users interact with those providers directly.

Vauntless Career Studio may later use advertising, retargeting, conversion measurement, or campaign attribution tools. If those tools are enabled, this policy and any consent controls should be updated to explain the specific use.

Until those tools are implemented, Vauntless Career Studio should avoid claiming that no marketing cookies are used if third-party scripts or embedded tools may set them.

Hosted client sites are intended to be simple public professional pages. They may still use essential platform technologies for routing, security, performance, and hosting.

If client sites later add analytics, embedded media, scheduling tools, contact forms, or third-party widgets, those tools may use additional cookies or similar technologies.

Most browsers allow users to block, delete, or limit cookies. Blocking essential cookies may cause parts of the site, checkout, intake, account access, or hosted services to stop working properly.

If Vauntless Career Studio later enables a cookie banner or preference center, users should be able to adjust non-essential cookie choices through that tool.

This Cookie Policy may be updated as Vauntless Career Studio adds analytics, authentication, advertising, integrations, client-site features, or other services that use cookies or similar technologies.
