Veteran Career Path Cookie Policy

Main website

The main website uses essential sign-in, session, security and preference storage. Its cookie banner lets you accept, reject or customize optional Google Analytics and advertising storage. Use Cookie Settings on the main website to reopen those choices; the vcb_cookie_consent localStorage key retains the preference until changed or cleared. Google Analytics and advertising services operate under their own policies. The resume program described below has its own optional analytics choice; main-site choices do not enable it.

Updated October 29, 2026. This notice covers the independent Veteran Career Path resume program. See the data & AI notice and main website cookie policy.

Essential storage

Firebase Authentication uses browser storage for this program's separate sign-in session. New sign-ins last for the browser session unless you choose Keep me signed in, which persists until sign-out or clearing storage. The acknowledgment key vcp_workspace_storage_choice remembers the essential-storage notice choice until cleared. Account identity, security and purchase recovery are necessary for requested sign-in and paid service; cookie preferences do not grant a purchase or a main-site subscription. The main website's session and preferences are separate.

The resume program stores its account-or-guest entry choice in sessionStorage under vcp_resume_entry. Guest checkout creates a session-only Firebase identity; create an account from that session to keep purchase access across devices. This entry preference contains no resume text.

Optional local resume drafts

Remember my draft is off by default. Enabling it saves resume text and application context in localStorage under resume-studio-draft-v1 on this origin, bound to the program user when signed in. It persists until disabled, cleared or signed out. Use a private device. Clearing browser data erases unsaved local work. It does not delete Firebase data or downloaded files. Background fields are not automatically saved to the device or cloud.

Stripe checkout

Choosing checkout opens Stripe's hosted payment page. Stripe may use essential cookies, local storage and device/network data for secure payment and fraud prevention under its cookie information and Privacy Policy. Our workspace does not embed Stripe tracking or payment scripts. We keep private purchase records on the server for recovery and accounting.

OpenAI and Anthropic

OpenAI and Anthropic are AI processors used through our server API, rather than advertising or analytics cookies in this workspace. Their API processing and retention terms apply to text you choose to submit. No OpenAI or Anthropic tracking script runs in this browser module. Refusing optional cookies does not prevent submitted text from being processed after your separate AI agreement. See the AI processing notice.

Separate optional app usage analytics

The independent VCP Resume app has its own off-by-default usage-analytics choice. If a visitor chooses Allow usage analytics there, isolated Google Analytics measures predefined general screens and actions using random browser/session identifiers. The editor's resume text, private fields, filenames, VA calculator entries, interest answers and crisis-help activity are excluded. There are no app ads, session recordings or automatic editor form capture. Main-site consent does not enable it. Use the app's Settings → Cookie & storage preferences to turn it off. See the app cookie policy and app analytics data notice for identifiers, retention and choices.

With this optional choice, the isolated measurement document also sends batches of predefined event names, screen categories and coarse sources to our server. We store daily aggregate counts in Firebase for owner reporting. These totals contain no browser or session IDs, account or purchase IDs, names, emails, resume text, full URLs, filenames, interest answers, VA information or crisis-help activity. They are not a count of unique people. The server uses a transient salted network-address hash for rate limiting; it does not save that hash or an IP address with activity totals. Hosting providers may still process normal security logs. Daily anonymous totals are retained for trend reporting. Turning analytics off drops unsent batches and stops future counts; an individual cannot be identified or removed from earlier aggregate totals.
