What are cookies?
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage and session storage, work in the same way. We call all of these "cookies" on this page.
What we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| __Host-identty-refresh | Cookie (strictly necessary) | Keeps you signed in. It is HttpOnly (scripts cannot read it), Secure, and only sent to Identty. | Up to 30 days, or until you sign out |
| identty_theme | Local storage (preference) | Remembers your chosen appearance (Auto, Lagoon or Midnight). | Until you clear it |
| Dock position keys | Local storage (preference) | Remembers the last page you opened in each section of the app. | Until you clear it |
| identty_pending_handle | Session storage (necessary) | Carries the handle and name you entered on the home or sign-up page through to onboarding. | Until you close the tab |
| Resume job-description hand-off | Session storage (necessary) | Passes a job description from one screen to the next while you tailor a resume. | Until you close the tab |
| Cloudflare security cookies (for example __cf_bm) | Cookie (security) | Set by Cloudflare, which protects our site from bots and attacks, and by its Turnstile check on public forms. | Short-lived (about 30 minutes) |
What we do not use
We do not use advertising cookies, social-media tracking pixels, or third-party analytics that follow you across websites. Anonymous feature-usage counts are recorded on our servers and are not tied to you. We also run our own website analytics (Umami) and error reporting (GlitchTip) on our servers. The analytics set no cookies, store no IP address and honour your browser’s Do Not Track setting. Error reports contain only technical details. Neither is shared with any third party.
Your choices
Strictly necessary cookies are needed for sign-in and security, so they cannot be switched off inside Identty. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but Identty may then not work, for example you would be signed out on every visit. You can reset your appearance preference by clearing site data for identty.si.
