Cookie policy

Last updated: June 7, 2026

This policy details the cookies and trackers set by Implikare when you use the implikare.com service. It complements the Privacy Policy and applies to all users, whether logged in or not.

1. What is a cookie

In one sentence

A cookie is a small file placed by a website on your device (computer, mobile, tablet) that lets it remember information between two visits — for example your login session or your choice on the cookie banner. The same definition extends to similar technologies like LocalStorage, which we use instead of a cookie to remember consent.

2. Cookies used by Implikare

Summary table

Name	Type	Purpose	Legal basis	Duration	Issuer
`refresh_token`	HTTP cookie (httpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Strict)	Authentication (keep your session logged in)	Contract performance — strictly necessary cookie, exempt from consent	30 days	Implikare
`consent`	LocalStorage	Remember your choice on the cookie banner (“accept” or “decline”)	Legitimate interest — not re-prompting you every visit	12 months	Implikare
`ph_`, `__ph_opt_in_out_`	HTTP cookies + LocalStorage	Product analytics: pages visited, interactions, conversions — and session replay. Your CVs, cover letters, profile and email address are never recorded in sessions.	Consent — disabled by default until you accept	12 months	PostHog (EU Cloud)
`__gads`, `__gpi`, `IDE`, `NID`, other Google trackers	HTTP cookies (1P and 3P)	Display advertising via Google AdSense on public pages, measure impressions and clicks; personalized targeting if you have consented, contextual otherwise	Consent — disabled by default, triggered only after acceptance	Up to 13 months	Google LLC

We use no third-party social network cookies and no retargeting cookies outside the providers described above (PostHog for product analytics, Google AdSense for advertising).

3. Consent and cookie banner

How consent works

In line with CNIL guidelines:

Analytics cookies (PostHog) and advertising cookies (Google AdSense) are disabled by default until you make a choice.
On your first visit, a banner gives you two options of equal visual weight: Accept or Decline.
Your choice is stored for 12 months in LocalStorage (key consent), to avoid prompting you again on every visit.
Declining has no impact on your access to the service or its features. If you decline, Google AdSense may still display non-personalized ads, based only on the page context.

Consent management

Consent is collected via Implikare's own cookie banner. Your choice is stored in LocalStorage (key consent) and passed to the relevant providers (PostHog, Google AdSense) only after explicit acceptance. No third-party CMP or standardized advertising framework (IAB TCF) is used.

4. Change or withdraw your consent

How to change your mind

You can withdraw or change your choice at any time. Two methods:

Quick method— clear your browser's LocalStorage for implikare.com: the banner will reappear on your next visit and you can make a new choice. On Chrome and Firefox: F12 → Application tab (Chrome) or Storage (Firefox) → LocalStorage → delete the consent key.
Global method— use your browser's privacy settings to block cookies from implikare.com or all third-party cookies. This will disable PostHog and Google AdSense, and also log you out (removing the refresh_token cookie).

A dedicated cookie preferences interface is planned soon and will be added to your dashboard.

5. Cookie security

How we protect the cookies

The session cookie refresh_token is issued with the following flags:

httpOnly — not accessible from JavaScript, protects against XSS attacks.
Secure — transmitted only over HTTPS connections.
SameSite=Strict — blocked on cross-site requests, protects against CSRF attacks.
