Cookie Policy · TodayWalkin

1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, provide secure sign-ins, and remember your display preferences.

Alongside standard HTTP cookies, we also use modern browser storage technologies like HTTP-Only secure cookies and HTML5 Local Storage to store client-side preferences (such as your chosen search city, UI display preferences, and cookie consent state) without sending them to tracking networks.

2. Cookie Categories We Use

We categorize all browser data storage into distinct tiers so you have transparent visibility and control:

Strictly Necessary (Essential)

Required for the platform to function. They authenticate your account session, maintain secure HTTPS connections, protect against CSRF attacks, and remember basic routing state. You cannot disable these without breaking the website.

Functional & Preferences

Enable helpful site personalization, such as remembering your selected city, your job feed filter settings, and whether you dismissed onboarding guidance or installed our progressive web app (PWA).

Aggregated First-Party Analytics

Help us count aggregate visits to city walk-in pages and verify that search filters return relevant results. Our telemetry is privacy-preserving, first-party, and never sold or shared with data brokers.

Advertising & Google Services

If Google AdSense or Google Maps embeds are loaded, third-party cookies may be used by Google to serve relevant non-personalized or personalized ads depending on your consent and regional privacy regulations.

3. Detailed Cookies & Storage Inventory

Here is a transparent breakdown of the specific identifiers and local storage keys used on TodayWalkin:

Name / Key	Type	Purpose	Duration
wh_session	HTTP-Only Cookie	Encrypted JWT holding user session credentials and role permissions.	30 Days
wh_cookie_consent	Local Storage	Stores your explicit cookie consent preferences (accepted / rejected categories).	1 Year
wh_recent_searches	Local Storage	Keeps your recent keywords and city queries locally on your device for fast re-discovery.	Persistent (Local)
wh_pwa_dismissed	Local Storage	Remembers when you dismiss the PWA installation prompt so we do not bother you repeatedly.	30 Days

4. Third-Party Services & Processors

We strictly audit all external service providers to ensure compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 and Information Technology Act, 2000. Our active infrastructure includes:

MongoDB Atlas: Encrypted, ISO 27001-certified managed database hosting account credentials and job listings in dedicated VPCs.
Brevo (formerly Sendinblue): Transactional email delivery service used exclusively to dispatch email verification codes and direct job alerts you opted into.
Google Maps Platform: Embedded map previews for walk-in venue navigation. When viewing maps, Google may record standard geographic API requests.
Google AdSense: If enabled, Google may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to our website or other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

5. Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit TodayWalkin, an interactive Cookie Consent banner gives you the choice to accept all cookies, restrict them to strictly necessary, or customize which categories are activated.

You can change your consent or reopen the Cookie Settings dialog at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of any page on this site.

6. Browser Settings & Removal

Every modern web browser allows you to view, manage, and delete stored cookies and site data through its privacy settings:

Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies.
Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies.
