Last Updated: January 13, 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. Cookies help websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.

How We Use Cookies

Banana Resume uses cookies to enhance your experience, analyze website traffic, and display relevant advertisements. We are committed to transparency about our cookie usage and give you control over your preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled in our systems. They enable core functionality such as:

  • Saving your resume data locally in your browser (LocalStorage)
  • Remembering your cookie consent preferences
  • Maintaining your session while using the resume builder
  • Ensuring website security and preventing fraud

Important: Your resume data is stored only on your device using browser LocalStorage. We do not transmit, store, or have access to your resume content on our servers.

2. Analytics Cookies (Optional)

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve our service.

Services we use:

  • Google Analytics: Tracks page views, user interactions, and website performance to help us understand user behavior and improve our service.
  • Vercel Analytics: Provides website performance metrics and visitor statistics to optimize loading times and user experience.

These cookies collect data in an anonymous form and do not personally identify you.

3. Advertising Cookies (Optional)

These cookies are used to deliver personalized advertisements and measure their effectiveness. They help make advertisements more relevant to you and your interests.

Services we use:

  • Google AdSense: Displays advertisements on our website and uses cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to our site and other websites. This helps us keep Banana Resume free for all users.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.

Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which adjusts how Google tags behave based on your cookie consent choices. When you deny advertising or analytics cookies, Google's tools operate in a limited mode that respects your privacy preferences while still allowing basic measurement for website improvement.
