Cookie Policy
Last updated: 25 October 2026
A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. This page lists every cookie GreenCareerBoard.com uses, what it is for, and how long it lasts.
Under EU rules we may set strictly necessary cookies without asking, but we must have your consent before setting any other kind. We keep this page accurate rather than generic: it describes the cookies this site actually sets.
1. Cookies set when you browse
One, and it exists only to remember which language you are reading the site in. It holds no identifier, so it cannot be used to recognise you across sites or to build a profile.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| NEXT_LOCALE | Stores your language (en or pt) so the site stays in that language as you move between pages. Contains only the language code. | When you close your browser |
This is a functional cookie serving a feature you asked for by choosing a language, and it does not track you, so it does not require consent. If you block it, the site still works; it may simply revert to the default language between pages.
2. Sign-in cookies
These are set only when someone signs in. Browsing the site without an account never sets them.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| sb-…-auth-token | Set by our database provider, Supabase, when you sign in to a job-seeker or employer account. Keeps you signed in. Holds the session token for your account and nothing else. | Removed when you sign out; otherwise up to 400 days |
| gcb_admin | Keeps the site operator signed in to the review console. Contains a signed session token, no personal data, and cannot be read by JavaScript. | 8 hours |
These cookies are strictly necessary for a sign-in to work at all, so they do not require consent.
3. Analytics and tracking
We use Vercel Analytics to count page views and see which pages are popular. It sets no cookie, uses no persistent identifier, and cannot be used to recognise you individually or track you across other websites. Because it sets no cookie, there is nothing for you to consent to and you will not see a cookie banner for it.
We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels or social media sharing scripts. If we ever add a tool that does set a cookie or use a persistent identifier, a consent banner will appear first, no non-essential cookie will be set until you agree, and this page will list every cookie involved before it is used.
4. Cookies set by other companies
We embed no third-party video, map, chat widget or social feed, so no third party sets cookies through this site. Following an apply link takes you to the employer's own website, which is outside our control and will have its own cookie practices.
5. Controlling cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you view, delete and block cookies through its settings, and blocking cookies from this site will not prevent you from browsing or searching jobs.
If anything on this page does not match what you observe in your browser, please tell us at privacy@greencareerboard.com — we would treat that as a bug.
