Cookie and Browser Storage Policy

mendyjob.com · Effective date: October 15, 2026 · Version 2026-10-15-v2

Pavel Karabitski owns and operates this website and provides its platform service as an individual. MendyJob is the name of the website and software product at mendyjob.com. In these documents, “we,” “us,” “our,” and “operator” refer to Pavel Karabitski. The platform agreement and the operator's duties and commitments are with Pavel Karabitski.

Pavel Karabitski uses browser storage to operate the marketplace at mendyjob.com and, when allowed, improve the experience. The cookie names below retain the application's internal LocalPro name.

Essential cookies

Sign-in and authentication cookies keep accounts authenticated. Form-protection cookies help prevent forged submissions. Temporary authentication/verification cookies and Google sign-in correlation cookies may be used for configured login and security features. Their lifetimes depend on the relevant session and configured security settings.

LocalPro.CookieConsent records the current cookie-choice version for the configured preference lifetime. LocalPro.Mode remembers Customer or Professional mode for up to 180 days where applicable. LocalPro.AnalyticsOptOut remembers a browser analytics opt-out for up to one year. These preferences support your choices and do not authorize advertising.

The cookie-choice lifetime is currently one year. Essential-only and analytics permission are stored as distinct choices; a general preference marker is not analytics consent. LocalPro.Reauthentication lasts five minutes for recent identity verification. LocalPro.WorkBoard remembers search preferences for 30 days; LocalPro.AvailableJobsLastSeen remembers the work-board last-seen time for up to one year. The framework also uses authentication, anti-forgery, temporary-message, and configured external-login cookies.

When your browser sends its data-saving setting, the marketplace can return smaller result pages without storing a connection preference. The older automatic LocalPro.LowData cookie is no longer used and is removed when encountered.

Optional analytics

When Google Analytics is enabled, a new cookie-choice version requests permission for both our visit summaries and Google Analytics. Earlier permission for first-party summaries alone does not enable Google Analytics.

After that permission, Google Analytics can measure visits to the homepage, service guides, and professional directory. It uses host-only cookies with the mendyjob_ga prefix, configured for up to 30 days. We supply public page labels and addresses without query strings or fragments, and only the origin of an external referrer. We do not send account identifiers, entered form values, or private job, message, account, security or administration pages through this integration. Google receives technical connection and device information when its script loads. Advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled. Refusing or withdrawing permission suppresses this integration and removes its cookies when the browser next reaches the application.

When allowed, LocalPro.Visit links broad page labels, device type, form progress, completion indicators, and error counts within a visit. It expires after 30 minutes of inactivity. Server visit summaries are retained for up to 30 days and may be account-linked when signed in. Typed form values, raw URLs, passwords, addresses, and browser-error messages are excluded from those summaries.

Choose Reject optional cookies to use the marketplace without optional visit summaries. You can withdraw permission or explicitly allow analytics again on that page without an account. A browser opt-out, account opt-out, or Global Privacy Control (GPC) suppresses collection even if the general cookie-choice cookie exists. Explicitly allowing analytics can replace an earlier browser-only refusal, but does not override GPC or an account opt-out. We do not use advertising cookies in the current implementation.

LocalStorage and sessionStorage

The Post Job form can save an unfinished draft in localStorage for recovery for up to seven days, including its service address and entered job details. Expired drafts are removed when the application next checks them. A device that does not return may retain the underlying browser storage until you clear it; the application cannot remotely wipe a closed browser. It is not a posted job until submitted successfully. The application may read and clear an older sessionStorage draft during migration or successful submission. Temporary professional-selection snapshots stay in the tab's sessionStorage and expire for use after two hours; submission identifiers and photo-draft references also support recovery and duplicate-submission protection. Clear this site's browser storage or use the available draft controls to remove a draft; clearing all site storage may also sign you out and reset choices.

Your controls and external services

You can adjust this browser's analytics choice without an account. Signed-in privacy tools provide account-wide controls and remove existing account-linked summaries when analytics is disabled. Browser preferences apply to that browser; repeat them on other devices as needed. Blocking essential cookies may prevent authentication or form submission.

Configured Cloudflare security or Google authentication services can receive connection information and use their own security storage. Review the deployed provider inventory in the Privacy Policy. The application does not interpret the older Do Not Track header; GPC is handled separately.
