Last Updated: April 25, 2026

Required for the site to function. Cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies

Elcano uses Mixpanel to understand how users interact with the product (which features are used, which flows complete, which buttons are clicked). Mixpanel receives pseudonymous event data — not your resume text or personal identifiers beyond an account ID when you are signed in. These cookies are set only after you accept the cookie consent banner; declining the banner prevents Mixpanel from loading.

2. Third-Party Cookies

The following third-party services may set cookies when you use Elcano:

  • Mixpanel: Product analytics. Sets cookies to associate events (analysis started, analysis completed, tab switched, upgrade clicked) with a session so we can measure feature adoption and conversion. Set only with your consent.
  • Vercel: Hosting provider for the marketing site and web app. May collect anonymized performance and traffic data.
  • Stripe: When you interact with payment forms (e.g., subscribing to Pro), Stripe may set cookies to facilitate secure payment processing and fraud detection.

Third-party cookies are governed by the respective providers' privacy policies.

3. Managing Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

  • Cookie consent banner: When you first visit Elcano, our cookie consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.
  • Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.
  • localStorage: You can clear localStorage entries via your browser's developer tools (Application > Local Storage).

Note: Disabling essential cookies (such as the Supabase auth token) may prevent the site from functioning correctly.

4. GDPR / ePrivacy Directive Compliance

In compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive, we only set non-essential cookies after obtaining your explicit consent. Essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function are set without prior consent, as permitted under these regulations. You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your cookies or adjusting your preferences via the cookie consent banner.
