Cookie Policy & Settings

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site recognize your browser, maintain your session, and remember settings. We also use local storage for cookie consent choices.

We group cookies into the following categories:

• Strictly necessary — authentication tokens, session security, load balancing, and fraud prevention. These cannot be disabled while using the platform.
• Functional — saved search filters, language or display preferences, and consent records.
• Analytics — aggregated usage metrics to improve job discovery, page performance, and career-matching features.

Some embedded content or authentication providers may set their own cookies when you use sign-in features. Their use is governed by the respective provider's policies.

Use the preference panel below to accept or decline optional analytics cookies. You can also clear cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may prevent login, job applications, and profile sharing with employers.

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies and local storage entries remain until they expire or you delete them. Consent choices are stored locally under the key shipjobs-cookie-consent.

We may update this policy when we add features or change providers. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect changes.
