Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 2026
MapJob (“MapJob,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at mapjob.io. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
By continuing to use MapJob, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can change your preferences at any time from our Cookie Preferences page.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the site owners.
Cookies can be “first-party” (set by the website you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by a service used by the website). Cookies can also be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (stored until they expire or you delete them).
2. How MapJob Uses Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Keeping you signed in and maintaining your session securely.
- Protecting against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
- Remembering your cookie consent preferences.
- Storing your language, locale, and display preferences.
- Remembering your map view settings (zoom level, center position).
- Understanding how visitors use our platform so we can improve it.
- Processing payments securely through our payment provider.
- Protecting the platform from bots and automated abuse.
3. Cookie Categories
We organize the cookies used on MapJob into the following categories. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled because the platform cannot function without them. All other categories are optional and only active when you opt in.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for MapJob to operate. They enable core functionality such as authentication, security, and cookie consent management. Because they are required for the platform to work, they do not require your consent and cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | Keeps you signed in and maintains your authenticated session. | Session / 30 days |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks. | Session |
| next-auth.callback-url | Stores the redirect URL during the authentication flow. | Session |
| cookie-consent | Remembers your cookie consent preferences so we do not ask you repeatedly. | 6 months |
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. Disabling these cookies may result in some features not working as expected.
- Language and locale preferences: remember your preferred language and regional settings so content is displayed in the correct format.
- User settings: store your display preferences, notification settings, and other customizations.
- Map view preferences: remember your last map position, zoom level, and layer selections so the map loads where you left off.
3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with MapJob so we can measure performance and improve the user experience. Analytics cookies are only activated if you opt in, and they do not collect personally identifiable information.
- Vercel Analytics: collects anonymized usage data including page views, navigation paths, referral sources, device type, browser type, and country-level geographic data. Vercel Analytics does not use cookies that track individuals across sites and does not collect IP addresses. Data is aggregated and used solely to understand platform usage patterns.
- Vercel Speed Insights: measures real-user performance metrics including page load times, Time to First Byte (TTFB), First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and Interaction to Next Paint (INP). This data helps us identify and fix performance bottlenecks. No personally identifiable information is collected.
3.4 Third-Party Cookies
Some features on MapJob rely on services provided by third parties. These services may set their own cookies, which are governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies.
- Stripe (payment processing): when you make a payment on MapJob, Stripe may set cookies to process transactions securely, detect fraud, and comply with financial regulations. Stripe's cookies are strictly related to payment functionality. Learn more in Stripe's Privacy Policy.
- Cloudflare Turnstile (bot protection): we use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect forms and authentication flows from automated abuse. Turnstile may set cookies to distinguish legitimate users from bots. These cookies do not track you across websites. Learn more in Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
- MapTiler (map tiles): our interactive job map is powered by MapTiler, which may set cookies or use local storage to cache map tiles and improve rendering performance. Learn more in MapTiler's Privacy Policy.
4. How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies:
- Cookie Preferences on MapJob: visit our Cookie Preferences page to change which optional cookie categories are active. You can switch between “required only” and “accept all” at any time.
- Browser settings: most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Instructions for the most common browsers are listed below.
Browser-Specific Instructions
- Google Chrome: go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear cookies when you close Chrome.
- Mozilla Firefox: go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers Standard, Strict, and Custom protection levels.
- Apple Safari: go to Preferences > Privacy. Safari blocks cross-site tracking by default. You can also choose to block all cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data. Edge allows you to block third-party cookies or all cookies.
Please note that blocking all cookies will prevent you from signing in and using many features of MapJob, because essential cookies (such as your session token) are required for the platform to function.
5. Do Not Track
MapJob honors Do Not Track (DNT) signals sent by your browser. If your browser's DNT setting is enabled, we will not load analytics or performance cookies, even if you have previously opted in to those categories. Your DNT preference takes priority over your cookie consent selection.
6. Cookie Consent
When you first visit MapJob, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies or continue with only strictly necessary cookies. Your choice is saved in a first-party cookie (cookie-consent) that persists for approximately six months.
You can change your preference at any time by visiting the Cookie Preferences page, accessible from the footer of every page.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If we make significant changes that affect your choices, we will notify you through a new cookie consent banner or a notice on the platform.
