1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Similar technologies like HTML5 local storage allow web applications to remember user choices and maintain session state across browser refreshes.
At USA Job Search, cookies ensure fast job browsing, prevent annoying repetitive popups, and remember your search category filters.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Essential for the site to function properly (e.g. security tokens, routing state, cookie consent flags). These cannot be disabled in our systems.
B. Functional & Preference Cookies
Used to remember your UI state, such as active search filters (remote vs on-site), job drawer expansion state, and previously dismissed notification modals.
C. Performance & Analytics Cookies
Allow us to measure directory loading speed, diagnose slow RapidAPI queries, and understand which US career categories receive the highest search engagement.
3. Cookie Duration (Session vs Persistent)
Cookies used on USA Job Search have varying lifespans:
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies deleted automatically once you close your browser.
- Persistent Storage: Key-value records saved in local storage (e.g.
job_search_cookie_consentandjob_search_subscribed) that persist across sessions to avoid prompting you repeatedly.
4. First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies
We prioritize first-party technology:
- First-Party: Set directly by USA Job Search and accessible only within our domain.
- Third-Party: When clicking outward application links to employer systems (Greenhouse, Lever, LinkedIn, Indeed), those third-party sites may deploy their own cookies under their respective policies.
