We use cookies to make Profio work, remember your preferences, and understand how you use our Service. Here is everything you need to know about the cookies we use and how to control them.
Last updated: February 15, 2026
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage, which serve similar purposes. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include all of these technologies.
We categorize our cookies into four types. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the Service to function.

Device fingerprinting is a technique that collects information about your device's configuration (such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and installed fonts) to create a unique identifier. Unlike cookies, this identifier cannot be easily deleted or cleared by users. We use FingerprintJS, a privacy-focused fingerprinting service, to help prevent fraud and protect your account.
FingerprintJS collects the following device characteristics, which are hashed and anonymized:
We use device fingerprinting for the following security purposes:
All fingerprint data is hashed using one-way cryptographic algorithms, making it impossible to reverse-engineer your device characteristics. We retain fingerprint identifiers for 90 days to maintain security effectiveness. FingerprintJS is GDPR and CCPA compliant and does not sell your data to third parties.
You can opt out of device fingerprinting in your Account Settings → Privacy → Fraud Prevention. Note that opting out may reduce the security of your account and may trigger additional verification steps (such as email verification) for login attempts from new devices.
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies. Here is how to manage cookies in the most popular browsers. Note that blocking all cookies may impact your experience on Profio.
Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. Choose your preferred setting or block specific cookies.
Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. Use Standard, Strict, or Custom protection levels.
Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data. Enable "Prevent cross-site tracking" for enhanced privacy.
Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies and site permissions. Choose Basic, Balanced, or Strict tracking prevention.
In addition to cookies, we use similar browser storage technologies to enhance your experience. These work alongside cookies but serve different purposes:
Stores data persistently on your device with no expiration. We use LocalStorage to save resume drafts (so you never lose your work), user preferences (such as editor layout and collapsed sidebar state), and theme settings. Data remains until you clear your browser data or we explicitly delete it.
Stores temporary data that expires when you close your browser tab. We use SessionStorage for temporary form state (such as multi-step wizard progress), flash messages (such as success/error notifications), and navigation history within a session. This data is never sent to our servers.
A client-side database for storing larger amounts of structured data. We use IndexedDB to enable offline editing of resumes (your changes are saved locally and synced when you reconnect), cache resume templates for faster loading, and store AI optimization suggestions for review. You can clear IndexedDB data through your browser's developer tools.
Privacy Note: All data stored in LocalStorage, SessionStorage, and IndexedDB remains on your device and is never automatically transmitted to our servers. We only sync this data when you explicitly save changes or when using features like "Sync Across Devices."
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the setting of these cookies. You can check the third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them. We carefully select our third-party partners and require them to comply with applicable privacy laws.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites you visit indicating that you do not want to be tracked. Unlike many websites that ignore DNT signals, Profio respects your privacy preferences.
To enable Do Not Track in your browser:
Global Privacy Control (GPC): We also support the Global Privacy Control signal, which is a more comprehensive privacy standard than DNT. When GPC is enabled, we apply the same restrictions as DNT plus automatically opt you out of data sales (if applicable under CCPA).
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of material changes by posting a notice on our website. We recommend checking this page periodically for the latest information on our cookie practices.
If you have questions about our use of cookies or other tracking technologies, please contact our privacy team.
