Cookies

Three cookies of our own, none of which follows you anywhere. The one exception is the ads on the public job board, and Google asks about those itself.

01Why there is no banner

A consent banner is required when a site stores something in your browser that it does not need in order to work an analytics identifier, an advertising pixel, anything that recognises you somewhere else. Outside the public job board, Roliii stores none of those.

What it does store is listed below in full: two cookies that keep you signed in, and one that remembers whether you left the sidebar open. Asking permission for those would be a dialog in front of every visitor about a decision nobody would make differently.

02What is set

__convexAuthJWTsession · strictly necessary
Proves to the backend that this browser is signed in as you. Set when you sign in, refreshed as you use the app, and deleted when you sign out.
__convexAuthRefreshTokensession · strictly necessary
Renews the one above so a long session does not sign you out mid-draft. Deleted at the same time, by the same action.
sidebar_state7 days · preference
Whether the sidebar is open or collapsed, so the app does not reopen it every time you load a page. Written only when you press the control that collapses it, and only inside the app.

The first two are set only after you sign in. A visitor who reads the home page and leaves has had nothing written to their browser at all.

03What else is kept in your browser

One thing, and it is local storage rather than a cookie, which means it is never sent to a server: a key named roliii-theme, holding light, dark or system, written if you change the theme. Nothing reads it but the page you are on.

04What is not set

  • No analytics cookies. Visits are counted by Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookie and keeps no identifier from one day to the next, so no journey through the site is recorded.
  • No advertising or remarketing tags outside /jobs and /companies, and no social network pixels anywhere.
  • No session recording, heatmaps, or scroll tracking.
  • No third-party cookies outside /jobs and /companies. Nothing else on the site sets a cookie for a domain that is not this one.

Payments are the one place you leave: a checkout hands you to Polar, on their own domain, under their own notice. Nothing they set is set here.

05On the public job board

The pages under /jobs and /companies carry Google AdSense, and those are the only pages that load it. Google may set its own advertising cookies there, on its own domains, to measure ads and, if you allow it, to choose them. Which cookies, and for how long, is Google's to decide and is listed at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.

In the EU, the UK and Switzerland, Google asks before it sets any of them, through its own consent message. The Ad privacy choices link at the foot of every board page reopens it, so your answer is always one press from being changed. Refusing costs nothing: the board works the same, with ads that are not chosen for you.

06Clearing them, and what breaks

Every browser can block or clear cookies for a single site, and you do not need permission to do it here. Signing out clears the two session cookies anyway.

Blocking them costs you the sign-in: without the two above there is no way to prove a request is yours, so the app cannot be used signed out. Clearing sidebar_state costs you nothing but a sidebar that opens.

07If this changes

This page lists every cookie the app sets, by name. If one is ever added that is not strictly necessary, it will be asked about before it is set, and the answer will be one you can change, as the ads on the job board already are. Questions go to support@roliii.com.
