What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, provide a better user experience, and give website operators useful information.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device until they expire or you delete them).
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage, which serve similar purposes. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include these similar technologies.
How We Use Cookies
CreateCV.io uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Functionality: To authenticate your session, remember your login state, and keep the Service secure. These cookies are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled.
- Remembering Preferences: To store your preferences such as dark or light mode theme selection, so the Service looks and works the way you want it to.
- Analyzing Usage: With your consent, to collect anonymous usage statistics that help us understand how visitors use the Service, which features are most popular, and where we can improve.
- Marketing (With Consent): With your explicit consent, to enable advertising and marketing functionality. As of the effective date of this policy, we do not use marketing cookies, but we will update this section if that changes.
By default, CreateCV.io uses essential cookies only. Non-essential cookies are only activated after you provide explicit consent through our cookie preferences panel.
Cookie Categories
We organize our cookies into the following categories:
Essential Cookies (Required)
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They enable core features like user authentication, session management, and security. Because they are essential, they do not require your consent and cannot be disabled.
Functional Cookies (Optional)
These cookies enhance your experience by remembering choices you make (such as your theme preference). Disabling them will not prevent you from using the Service, but some features may not work as expected.
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated information about how you use the Service. They help us understand traffic patterns, popular features, and areas for improvement. All analytics data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify you personally.
Marketing Cookies (Optional)
These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements and track marketing campaign effectiveness. As of the effective date of this policy, CreateCV.io does not use marketing cookies. If we introduce them in the future, they will require your explicit consent and will be listed in this policy.

Managing Your Cookies
You have full control over which non-essential cookies are active on your device.
Cookie Preferences Panel
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer, which will open our cookie preferences panel. From there, you can enable or disable each category of non-essential cookies.
Browser-Level Controls
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Here's how:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data
Note: Blocking essential cookies in your browser may prevent CreateCV.io from functioning correctly. If you block all cookies, you may not be able to log in or use core features of the Service.
Third-Party Cookies
As of the effective date of this policy, CreateCV.io does not use any third-party cookies. All cookies are first-party cookies set by createcv.io.
If we introduce third-party cookies in the future (for example, for analytics or advertising purposes), we will:
- Update this Cookie Policy with full details
- Require your explicit consent before setting any third-party cookies
- List the third-party provider, purpose, and duration of each cookie
Do Not Track
Some web browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites they visit. There is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.
CreateCV.io respects browser Do Not Track signals. When we detect a DNT signal from your browser, we will not set any non-essential cookies (analytics or marketing) regardless of your cookie consent preferences. Essential and functional cookies may still be used as they are necessary for the Service to operate.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons.
- If we introduce new categories of cookies or new third-party cookies, we will update this policy and request your consent before setting them.
- The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy will always reflect the most recent revision.
- For material changes, we will provide notice through the cookie consent banner or by email.
