This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies Dubinity uses, why we use them, and how you can manage them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They're used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, to gather analytics, and to deliver advertising. Some are set by us (first-party), others by third parties.
Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are essential for the site to function - they remember your navigation state, keep admin sessions secure, and let the cookie banner record your consent. They cannot be disabled.
- __Secure-next-auth.session-token - admin authentication. Expires when you sign out.
- __Host-next-auth.csrf-token - CSRF protection for sign-in. Expires at end of session.
- dubinity-consent - records your cookie-banner choices. Expires after 12 months.
- dubinity-theme - remembers your light/dark theme. Expires after 12 months.
- dubinity-career-session - links you to your own AI Career data (uploaded CVs, conversations, generated documents) when you are not signed in. Without it you would lose access to your own work on the next page load. Expires after 180 days.
- dubinity-ai-session - the same thing for the AI Travel Assistant: your conversations and saved trips. Expires after 180 days.
- dubinity-tools-session - remembers which AI tools you have bookmarked and reviewed when you are not signed in. Expires after 180 days.
The three dubinity-*-session cookies are first-party,httpOnly and hold nothing but a random identifier. They are not used for advertising or analytics, and are never shared. They are classed as strictly necessary because they are the only thing connecting an anonymous visitor to their own uploads and conversations - clearing them makes that data permanently unreachable, and we then delete it (see the Privacy Policy, section 2).
Analytics (opt-in)
We use Vercel Web Analytics and Real-User Vitals to measure aggregate site usage (page views, popular content, Core Web Vitals). Vercel Analytics is privacy-friendly: it does not set tracking cookies and does not identify individual visitors. These scripts load only after you accept analytics cookies in the banner.
Advertising (opt-in)
If Google AdSense becomes active on the Site and you accept advertising cookies, Google and its partners may set cookies to serve you ads. Examples include __gads, __gpi, IDE. See Google's full cookie list for details.
Third-party links
Activity pages link out to the operator who actually sells the experience. Those sites set their own cookies once you arrive. We do not share personal data with them - the link is a plain outbound link, and where a commercial relationship exists it is disclosed on the page before you click. See each operator's own privacy policy for their cookie practices.
Managing your preferences
When you first visit the site you'll see a cookie banner. Your choice is stored in dubinity-consent and respected on future visits. To change your choice, click Cookie settingsin the footer.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings:
Disabling necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from functioning correctly.
Opting out of personalised ads
You can opt out of personalised advertising at the network level via:
- Google Ads Settings
- Digital Advertising Alliance choices
- YourAdChoices (Canada)
- Your Online Choices (EU)
Changes to this policy
If we add new cookies or change how existing ones work, we'll update this page and bump the "Last updated" date at the top.
