Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit or navigate between pages.

This Cookie Policy explains how DB Island Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"), operating the Book/Job platform at booknjob.com, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use the following categories of cookies on our Platform:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They enable core functionality such as security, session management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of essential cookies as the Platform cannot operate without them.

• Session cookies — maintain your login state and keep you authenticated as you navigate the Platform
• CSRF tokens — protect against cross-site request forgery attacks
• Cookie consent — remember your cookie preferences
• Country and language — remember your selected country and language preferences

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences and settings.

• Dashboard preferences — remember your layout settings and filters
• Form data — temporarily store form inputs to prevent data loss
• Timezone detection — display booking times in your local timezone

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Platform by collecting anonymous usage data. This information helps us improve the Platform experience.

• Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
• Device type, browser, and operating system

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Platform are set by third-party services that we use. These include:

• Stripe: Our payment processor may set cookies to facilitate secure payment processing and fraud prevention.

We do not control third-party cookies. Please refer to each third party's own cookie and privacy policies for more information.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies on our Platform fall into two categories based on how long they last:

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. Used primarily for authentication and security.
• Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period (typically 30 days to 1 year) or until you manually delete them. Used for remembering your preferences and analytics.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Device settings: Mobile devices typically provide cookie management options in their browser or privacy settings.
• Third-party tools: Various browser extensions and online tools allow you to manage cookies across websites.

Please note that disabling or deleting essential cookies may prevent certain features of the Platform from functioning correctly. You may be unable to log in, make bookings, or access your dashboard if essential cookies are blocked.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers send "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals to websites. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, we do not respond to DNT signals, but we respect your privacy choices through the cookie management options described above.

7. Updates to This Cookie 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 changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
