Cookies and browser storage
Last updated 29 Sept 2026.
In short
Jobs Web3 stores in your browser only what keeps the site working or remembers what you asked for, plus one first-party counter for views. It uses no advertising cookies and no third-party analytics cookies.
The table lists every cookie and every item of local or session storage that Jobs Web3 sets. Session storage is cleared when you close the tab. Local storage stays until you clear it.
What is stored
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
__Secure-better-auth.session_token | Cookie | Necessary. Keeps you signed in. Set when you sign in. Scripts on the page cannot read it. | Up to 7 days after you last use the site. Deleted when you sign out. |
__Secure-better-auth.state | Cookie | Necessary. Protects Sign in with Google against forged requests. Set only while you sign in with Google. | 5 minutes |
nw-theme | Local storage | Your choice. Remembers day or night mode. Set only when you use the theme switch. | Until you clear it |
better-auth.message | Local storage | Necessary. Tells your other open tabs that you signed out or changed your account, so they update too. It holds no personal data. | Until you clear it |
nodework:account-kind:<account id> | Session storage | Necessary. Remembers whether your account is a candidate or an employer, so the menu shows the right links after a reload. | Until you close the tab |
nodework:posting:v2 | Session storage | Necessary. Keeps your job post draft while you sign in or pay and come back. A draft older than 24 hours is ignored, and it is removed after payment. | Until you close the tab |
nodework:listing:<form> | Session storage | Necessary. The same for the older job post and bundle forms. | Until you close the tab |
nodework:view-session | Session storage | Statistics. A random number for this tab, used to count a view once. Our servers keep only a hash of it that changes every day, never the number. It stays on Jobs Web3, is not shared, and is not used for advertising. | Until you close the tab |
Bot check
The sign-in, sign-up and report forms load Cloudflare Turnstile from challenges.cloudflare.com, to tell people from bots. It runs only on those forms. Cloudflare provides it for us to protect the site and does not use it for advertising.
Cloudflare, which delivers this site, may also set a short-lived security cookie of its own, for example __cf_bm, when its bot protection is on. It is used only for security.
Other sites
When you pay, you go to Stripe Checkout. When you choose Sign in with Google, you go to Google. Those sites set their own cookies under their own policies: Stripe and Google.
Consent
Jobs Web3 sets no cookies for advertising or for third-party analytics, so it does not ask for consent to cookies. If that changes, we will ask first and update this page.
Your choices
You can delete cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. If you delete the sign-in cookie, you are signed out. If you delete nw-theme, the site goes back to the light or dark setting of your device.
