Cookie Policy

Last updated: 5 June 2026

1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Job Avion ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar local-storage technologies on our website and web application, and the choices available to you. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We use these technologies in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the ePrivacy Directive, and applicable national law.

In short: JobAvion sets no advertising, marketing or cross-site tracking cookies. We use a small number of strictly necessary items to keep the platform working, and — only with your consent — optional items for preferences and (in future) anonymous usage analytics. You can accept, reject, or fine-tune these at any time.

2. What are cookies and local storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We also use the browser's localStorage and sessionStorage, which work similarly but keep data on your device rather than sending it with every request. In this policy we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies".

Strictly necessary — required for the service to function (sign-in, security, your language and consent choice). These do not require consent but are listed below for transparency.
Preferences — remember optional, non-essential choices to personalise your experience. Used only with your consent.
Analytics — would help us understand anonymous, aggregated usage. Not active today; reserved for future use and used only with your consent.
Marketing — we do not use marketing or advertising cookies.

4. Third-party services

Some pages load resources from third parties. These do not set advertising cookies, but your browser does contact those providers, which may receive your IP address as part of delivering the resource:

Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com) — web fonts. See Google Privacy Policy.
flagcdn.com — country flag images for the language selector.
Leaflet / unpkg.com — map display library on the homepage.
MQTT (unpkg.com, openkbs.com) — real-time notifications and messaging within the app.
Stripe — payment processing (only on payment pages). See Stripe Privacy Policy.
Google OAuth — optional "Sign in with Google" authentication. See Google Privacy Policy.

5. Managing and withdrawing your consent

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time — withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it:

Use the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page, or the button below, to reopen your preferences.
You can also clear cookies and site data through your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary items may stop parts of the platform from working.

6. Changes to this policy

If we materially change how we use cookies — for example, when analytics is introduced — we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent again through the cookie banner.
