USAJobsKit (“we,” “us,” or “our“) operates usajobskit.com. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the specific cookies this site uses, the purpose behind each one, and how you can control your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. By continuing to use this site, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device, such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet, when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, work more efficiently, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies do not harm your device and do not contain viruses. They cannot execute programs or deliver malware. A cookie is simply a data file that your browser stores and sends back to the originating server on each visit.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

USAJobsKit uses four categories of cookies. Here is a plain-language summary of each:

3. Full Cookie Reference Table

The table below lists the cookies used on usajobskit.com, their purpose, who sets them, and how long they persist on your device.

ℹ️ Cookie names marked with an asterisk (*) indicate a pattern. For example, _ga_* means any cookie starting with _ga_ followed by your GA4 measurement ID. Third-party cookie lists may change as provider policies evolve.

4. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for this website to function. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure browsing, and form submissions. Without these cookies, the Site cannot operate correctly.

5. Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors find and use USAJobsKit. Analytics cookies collect anonymized, aggregated data about page views, session duration, traffic sources, and device types. This data helps us improve tool performance and user experience.

Analytics cookies do not identify you personally. Google Analytics data is processed by Google in accordance with their Privacy Policy. We have enabled IP anonymization in our GA4 configuration so that your full IP address is never stored by Google.

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Advertising Cookies

USAJobsKit is monetized through Google AdSense and Ezoic. These services place advertising cookies on your device to deliver ads and measure their performance. Advertising cookies may track your activity across multiple websites to build a profile of your interests and serve you more relevant ads.

Advertising cookies are optional. You can opt out of personalized advertising. See Section 11 for full opt-out instructions.

7. Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow the Site to remember information you have entered in our calculators and tools within your current browser session. For example, if you use the Salary Calculator and navigate to another page before returning, your last inputs may be pre-filled to save you time.

These cookies use sessionStorage, which means they are cleared automatically when you close your browser tab or window. They do not persist between sessions and do not transmit data to any external server.

8. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on USAJobsKit are set by third-party services rather than by us directly. We do not have full control over third-party cookies. Each third-party provider operates under its own privacy and cookie policy.

9. sessionStorage and localStorage

In addition to cookies, USAJobsKit tools use the browser’s built-in sessionStorage and localStorage APIs to temporarily save your calculator inputs and tool state. These are not cookies in the traditional sense but serve a similar function.

10. How to Control Cookies

You have the right to accept, decline, or manage non-essential cookies at any time. The most direct way to control cookies is through your browser settings. Each major browser has its own cookie management tool:

11. Opt Out of Personalized Ads

You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time using the following official opt-out tools. Opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads. It means the ads you see will be less personalized and based on contextual signals rather than your browsing history.

12. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a Do Not Track (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, no universally accepted technical standard exists for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, usajobskit.com does not alter its data collection practices based on browser-level DNT signals.

We do, however, support Global Privacy Control (GPC), an emerging standard that allows users to signal a privacy preference to websites. Where technically feasible and legally required, we honor GPC signals. California residents may use GPC to exercise their CCPA opt-out rights.

13. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our practices change, new services are added, or legal requirements evolve. When updated, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised. We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.

14. Contact Us
