What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the site.
Similar technologies include pixels, local storage, and session storage.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Keeps you logged in | Session |
| CSRF token | Security protection | Session |
Legal basis: Legitimate interest (necessary for website operation)
Marketing page analytics
On marketing pages, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure page views, referrers, and conversion-intent link clicks. You can opt out of marketing page analytics below.
Marketing Experiment and Preference Cookies
We use a first-party cookie to keep a visitor's homepage direction attached to a signup across the marketing and application subdomains. A separate preference cookie remembers when a visitor has opted out of marketing page analytics. These cookies contain no CV content or personal identifiers.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| marxel_homepage_variant_v2_attribution | Keeps the homepage experiment variant available for anonymous signup attribution | 90 days |
| marxel_marketing_analytics_optout | Remembers the separate marketing analytics opt-out across our subdomains | 1 year |
Legal basis: Legitimate interest
Analytics Cookies
Google Analytics measures activity on public pages and in the signed-in application. PostHog provides product analytics and session replay in the signed-in application and admin workspace. For signed-in sessions, PostHog receives the account email to associate analytics and replay with that user. These cookies load when you visit our website.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes users | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Maintains session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes users | 24 hours |
| _gat | Throttles request rate | 1 minute |
| ph_* | Product analytics, feature usage, and session replay | Provider configured duration |
Legal basis: Legitimate interest
Data collected:
- Pages visited
- Time spent on pages
- Features used
- Account email for signed-in PostHog sessions
- Session replay may include visible interface content and form values, including candidate profiles, CV previews, Application details, member information, and integration settings in the signed-in application and admin workspace
- Browser and device type

Data sharing:
PostHog processes signed-in application and admin workspace analytics and replay. Replays may include candidate and integration data visible on screen. Password fields are masked while hidden; revealed values may appear in replay. Public Hosted-Vacancy Application and sign-in pages are outside replay scope. Google Analytics processes public-page and signed-in application analytics. See their privacy policies:

- Google: policies.google.com/privacy
Advertising and Attribution Cookies
We use the Google Ads tag to measure sign-ups and purchases that follow our adverts. Google may also use these cookies to personalise the adverts it shows. We also record campaign parameters (such as UTM tags) and the comparison pages a visitor viewed before signing up, and link that attribution to the organisation's account and first paid subscription.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _gcl_* | Google Ads conversion measurement | 90 days |
| marxel_comparison_attribution_v1 | Remembers comparison-page and campaign attribution until sign-up | 30 days |

Server-Side Product Usage Records
When you are signed in, Marxel records limited first-party product events for service delivery, support, and improvement. This is separate from analytics cookies: it does not set or read analytics cookies. The records contain event names, limited counts or status values, and internal job references—not CV content, email addresses, IP addresses, browser identifiers, or free-form text. Linked records are deleted when the account is deleted.
