Cookie policy
What STAR Interviewer stores in this browser, and what it does not. This page is information about the product. It is not legal advice.
Your choice
Accept and Decline are equal choices. Non-essential items stay off until you accept. You can change this at any time with Cookie settings in the page footer, or from the sidebar when you are signed in.
Strictly necessary
These are used only to provide the service you ask for, or to remember the choice below. They are not used for analytics or advertising. UK and EU cookie rules exempt this kind of storage from consent, but it still has to be explained.
| Name | Where | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
star_cookie_consent |
Cookie | Remembers whether you accepted or declined non-essential storage. Value is only all or necessary. |
180 days |
auth_token |
localStorage | Login session for recruiters and hiring managers after they sign in. Candidates taking an interview do not get this token. The server does not set an HTTP session cookie. The token is sent as a bearer header. | Until you log out, or the token expires (about 24 hours) |
Non-essential
Loaded only after you accept. Decline leaves them unloaded. There is no analytics or marketing tag on the site.
| What | Where it runs | Who receives the request |
|---|---|---|
| TensorFlow.js and face-api.js | Face-tracking debug page only, after Accept | jsDelivr (cdn.jsdelivr.net). unpkg is used only if jsDelivr fails. Models themselves are served from this site (/static/models). |
A MediaPipe loader is present in that page's source and is not called. It is gated by the same choice, so it cannot load the jsDelivr MediaPipe scripts unless you have accepted.
Checked, and not stored in the browser
- No sessionStorage items.
- The server does not set a session, CSRF, or load-balancer cookie.
- No analytics, advertising, or marketing cookies. No chat widget. No Google sign-in.
- The review page reads a localStorage key named
token. The app never writes that key. Sign-in writesauth_tokenonly. - Instrument Sans is served from this site (
/static/fonts), not from Google Fonts. - Public pages use a stylesheet served from this site (
/static/css/public.css), not the Tailwind Play CDN. - The candidate interview links out to a YouTube page. That is a link, not an embedded player, so YouTube does not load while you stay on the interview.
- During an interview the server may send the connection IP to ipgeolocation.io to record an approximate location. That happens on the server. It is not a cookie and it is not controlled by this banner.
Pages this covers
The banner is on the landing page, sign-in and registration, the candidate interview, recruiter and hiring-manager pages (interviews, review, questions, candidates, job profiles, settings, organisations, teams, and face tracking), this policy, and the static terms page.
