Cookie Policy

PlanCV, Inc. ("PlanCV," "we," "us") is a Kentucky-based company delivering a Software-as-a-Service resume builder to a global audience. This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies and similar technologies (collectively, "cookies") are used when you visit plancv.com and associated subdomains (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device. Related technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and scripts. They help the Site recognize your browser, remember settings, authenticate sessions, and analyze performance.

First-party cookies are placed directly by PlanCV. Third-party cookies are set by service providers that support analytics, advertising, customer support, and social media integrations.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: Enable secure login, session continuity, fraud prevention, and recording of your privacy choices. Because they are essential, disabling them may render core functionality unavailable.

Performance & Analytics Cookies: Collect aggregated information about how visitors use the Site—such as page views, feature adoption, and error logs—to improve reliability and user experience. We may use tools like Google Analytics, which can transfer data to the United States or other jurisdictions.

Functional & Personalization Cookies: Remember preferences (for example, selected resume templates, language, and onboarding progress) and support third-party integrations. Without them, enhanced features may not work as expected.

Advertising & Marketing Cookies: Help us deliver relevant PlanCV promotions on our own properties and on third-party sites, measure campaign effectiveness, and limit ad frequency. These cookies often involve partners in advertising networks.

Social Media Cookies: Facilitate interaction with social sharing widgets and allow you to log in through social platforms. These platforms may collect information about your visit regardless of whether you interact with the widget.

Operate and secure the Site, including authentication, load balancing, and fraud prevention.

Monitor usage patterns to guide product development, capacity planning, and customer support.

Personalize experiences—such as recommended templates, localized content, or saved preferences.

Measure and optimize marketing performance while avoiding repetitive messaging.

Ensure compliance with legal obligations, including honoring consent choices and regional opt-out mechanisms.

We do not sell cookie-derived personal data. Where cookie data links to identifiable information, we treat it as personal data under applicable laws.

GDPR and UK GDPR: We rely on your consent for non-essential cookies and legitimate interests for activities such as security, fraud prevention, and service delivery. You may withdraw consent at any time (see Managing Preferences).

Kentucky and United States Law: We follow federal and Kentucky-specific requirements, including consumer protection standards and breach notification duties (KRS 365.732 et seq.). Residents of other U.S. states can review additional rights in our Privacy Policy.

Other Regions: We honor local requirements—such as Canada’s PIPEDA, Brazil’s LGPD, and Australia’s Privacy Act—by applying the strictest applicable standard when conflicts arise.

PlanCV Cookie Banner: On your first visit and at regular intervals, our banner lets you accept, reject, or customize cookie categories. You can revisit your choices anytime via the "Cookie Settings" link in the Site footer.

Browser Controls: Most browsers allow blocking or deleting cookies through settings or private browsing modes. Blocking essential cookies may degrade Site functionality.

Analytics Opt-Out: Decline analytics cookies in our banner or install Google’s opt-out add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

Advertising Preferences: Use industry tools like the Digital Advertising Alliance (https://optout.aboutads.info), Network Advertising Initiative (https://optout.networkadvertising.org), or device-level controls (e.g., iOS App Tracking Transparency, Android Ads settings).

Email Pixels: Disable automatic image loading in your email client or unsubscribe from marketing emails to limit pixel tracking.

Because industry standards for Do Not Track signals are unsettled, we do not currently respond to DNT headers. When browsers or extensions send Global Privacy Control (GPC) or similar signals, we treat them as opt-out requests for non-essential cookies wherever technically feasible.

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies typically last between a few hours and 24 months unless you delete them sooner. We ask our vendors to align their retention periods with documented purposes and review them periodically.

We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—such as encryption in transit, role-based access, and regular audits—to help protect cookie-derived information against unauthorized access or disclosure.

We may process cookie-related data in the United States and other countries where PlanCV team members or service providers operate. When transferring personal data from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and supplementary technical and organizational measures.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect product changes, legal developments, or best practices. The "Last updated" date shows when revisions took effect. Where material changes occur, we will provide prominent notice or request renewed consent when required by law.
