localStorage. - No advertising cookies are used. We don't load Facebook, Google Ads, or similar pixels.
- You can opt out of analytics or block cookies entirely in your browser.
- For how we handle personal data beyond cookies, see our Privacy Policy.
Categories we use
Strictly necessary
Required for the site to work — sign-in, session refresh, CSRF protection, and load-balancing. Without these, you can't log in or stay logged in. These cannot be disabled.
Functional
Remember your light/dark theme choice and similar small preferences.
Analytics
Help us understand which features are used so we can improve the product. Aggregated and pseudonymous — we don't use them to identify you personally.
Advertising
None. We don't use advertising cookies or trackers.

Exact cookie names may include a project-specific suffix and can change as we update our providers. The categories and purposes above apply regardless of the exact name.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by services we use, not by MakeResume directly. Each provider has its own policy:
- Supabase — auth session cookies (privacy policy)
- PostHog — analytics cookies (privacy policy)
- Lemon Squeezy — checkout cookies (privacy policy)
Billing and subscription terms are covered in our Terms of Service.
No advertising trackers
We don't use ad-network pixels (Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, etc.) or cross-site tracking cookies. We have no commercial reason to — we make money from subscriptions, not ad revenue.
Managing your preferences
Browser controls
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Note that blocking necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in.
Opt out of analytics
You can opt out of PostHog analytics by enabling Do Not Track in your browser (PostHog respects it) or by using a browser extension that blocks analytics scripts. To request that we remove your historical analytics data, email support@makeresume.pro or use our contact page.
Do Not Track
Browsers can send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. PostHog honors DNT and will not collect analytics from browsers that send it. The rest of the necessary cookies described above are still required for the product to function.
Frequently asked questions
What cookies does MakeResume use?
MakeResume uses strictly necessary cookies for sign-in and session refresh (Supabase), functional storage for your light/dark theme preference, analytics cookies via PostHog, and short-lived checkout cookies from Lemon Squeezy during purchases. We do not use advertising cookies.
Does MakeResume use advertising or tracking cookies?
No. MakeResume does not load ad-network pixels (Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, etc.) or cross-site advertising trackers. We earn revenue from subscriptions, not ads.
How do I opt out of MakeResume analytics cookies?
Enable Do Not Track in your browser — PostHog respects DNT — or use a browser extension that blocks analytics scripts. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. To request removal of historical analytics data, email support@makeresume.pro.
Can I use MakeResume if I block all cookies?
You can browse public pages, but blocking strictly necessary authentication cookies will prevent you from signing in or staying logged in. Theme preferences stored in localStorage may also be cleared if you wipe site data.
