Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the site owners.

Similar technologies such as local storage and session storage may also be used on our platform. For simplicity, we refer to all these technologies collectively as "cookies" in this policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

SimRacingJobs.com uses cookies to ensure the proper functioning of our platform, to remember your preferences, and to understand how you interact with our services. We categorize our cookies into the groups described below.

We are committed to being transparent about the cookies we use and why we use them. This policy explains each category in detail so you can make an informed choice about which cookies you allow.

3. Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the services you have requested cannot be provided.

Essential cookies we use include:

- Session cookie (better-auth): Maintains your authenticated session so you remain logged in as you navigate between pages. This cookie is set when you sign in and is removed when you sign out or when it expires.

- CSRF protection cookie: Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks by verifying that form submissions and actions originate from our website.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function, they do not require your consent and cannot be disabled.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They are not strictly necessary but improve your experience on the platform.

Functional cookies we use include:

- Theme preference: Remembers whether you prefer dark mode or light mode so the site displays in your chosen appearance on subsequent visits.

- Language preference: Stores your preferred language so content is displayed in the correct language when you return.

- Cookie consent preference (cookie_consent): Records the cookie consent choices you have made so that we do not ask you again on every visit.

These cookies require your consent. You can enable or disable them through our cookie consent banner or via Cookie Settings in the footer.

5. Analytics Cookies

We do not currently use any analytics cookies on SimRacingJobs.com.

In the future, we may introduce analytics cookies to help us understand how visitors interact with our platform, which pages are most popular, and where users encounter issues. This information would be used solely to improve the quality and performance of our services.

If and when we introduce analytics cookies, we will update this policy accordingly and request your explicit consent before placing any such cookies on your device.

6. How to Manage Cookies

You have several options for managing your cookie preferences:

- Cookie consent banner: When you first visit SimRacingJobs.com, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.

- Cookie Settings: You can revisit your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" button in the footer of any page on our website.

- Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser.

Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent our website from functioning properly. Features such as authentication and session management rely on essential cookies to work correctly.

7. Cookie Consent

We ask for your consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device. When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to choose which categories of cookies you wish to accept.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" button located in the footer of every page. Your updated preferences will take effect immediately.

We respect the "Do Not Track" signals sent by your browser, though we note that there is currently no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to these signals.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
