Last Updated: February 15, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how RewriteCV ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize, understand, and remember you when you visit our website, including without limitation www.rewritecv.com and any related URLs, mobile or localized versions and related domains / sub-domains (collectively, the "Sites").
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, RewriteCV) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Sites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Sites. Third parties serve cookies through our Sites for advertising, analytics and other purposes.
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Sites and the purposes they perform are described below.
What types of cookies do we use?

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Sites and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like secure login or shopping baskets, cannot be provided.

How can you control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
The specific way you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls varies from browser-to-browser. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visitwww.aboutcookies.org orwww.allaboutcookies.org.
Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, which may be adapted to reflect your consent to the use of cookies. Further, most browsers also enable you to review and erase cookies, including RewriteCV cookies. To learn more about cookie controls through browsers, please consult the following links:
Do Not Track
Some internet browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" features. Many of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Those websites (or the third-party content on those sites) may continue to engage in activities you might view as tracking even though you have expressed this preference, depending on the websites' privacy practices.
Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the Do Not Track signal, we do not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.
What about other tracking technologies?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Sites. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Sites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Sites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
We do not serve any third-party advertisements on our Sites. However, we may use LinkedIn, Google, and other search engines to target our advertisements to suitable audiences. These advertising services may collect certain information about your visits to our Sites or other websites to measure and target advertisements that may be more relevant to your interests.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
