TRANSPARENT COOKIE GOVERNANCE
BROWSER STORAGE & TELEMETRY DISCLOSURE

Cookie Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 • Last Updated: September 13, 2026

InternPrep AI ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and related browser storage technologies (such as localStorage and sessionStorage) to keep your authenticated session secure, remember interface preferences, and analyze anonymized platform performance. This document details each category of cookie deployed across our web application.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are compact text files stored on your computer or mobile device by websites you visit. Browser Local Storage enables web applications to store key-value data persistently without expiring at the end of a single browsing session. We utilize these tools strictly to fulfill functionality you request (such as keeping you logged in).

2. Categories of Storage Deployed

Strictly Essential / Authentication Storage
ALWAYS ACTIVE

These tokens are mandatory for the application to function. They authenticate your account, maintain active interview session state, and protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). They cannot be disabled without breaking platform functionality.

USER-CONTROLLED

With your consent, we use PostHog to gather aggregated, anonymized metrics on feature usage, latency spikes, and page navigation flows. This data helps us optimize AI latency and diagnose UI bottlenecks. No raw resume text, passwords, or payment cards are ever transmitted to our analytics providers.
