Cookies & local storage policy
Last updated 26 June 2026
1. Why this policy covers more than cookies
The TalentXP App is a web app that can be installed on your device, rather than a traditional website — so instead of (or as well as) cookies, it uses your browser's local storage and related technologies to remember things between visits. This policy covers all of them, and it covers the app specifically: the TalentXP website sets a different set of cookies, described in the website's own cookie policy.
2. What we store on your device
Some storage is essential and always on; some is optional and only used once you choose "Accept all" in the cookie banner shown when you first use the app. You can change your choice at any time — see Section 5.
| What | Purpose | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in session data (Microsoft Entra / MSAL) | Keeps you signed in between visits, so you don't have to sign in every time | Strictly necessary |
| Theme preference | Remembers your display preference (e.g. light/dark mode) | Functional |
| Session identifier | A randomly generated identifier used to understand app usage patterns | Analytics — only set if you accept |
| First-visit attribution data | Records how you first arrived at the app (e.g. which link or campaign), used to understand how people find us | Analytics — only set if you accept |
3. Push notifications
If you allow push notifications (Privacy Policy, Section 6), your device stores a subscription reference that lets us send you a notification. You can remove this at any time by turning off notification permissions for the app in your device settings.
4. Third-party scripts
The app loads its sign-in library (Microsoft Authentication Library) from a trusted third-party content delivery network to keep it up to date and fast-loading. No personal information is shared with the content delivery network beyond what's needed to load that file.
5. Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie choice at any time from this page using the "Manage cookie preferences" button below. You can also clear locally-stored data at any time by clearing your browser's site data for the app, or by uninstalling and reinstalling it if you've added it to your home screen. Clearing this data will sign you out and reset your preferences, but will not delete your Talent People profile or account. You can also block cookies through your browser settings, though blocking the strictly necessary ones will stop you signing in.
