Important: InternPick is a technology platform and listing service — similar to how a real-estate marketplace connects buyers and sellers. We facilitate discovery, communication, and paperwork between schools, students, and host employers. We are not a school, employer, placement agency, insurer, broker, or guarantor of any outcome. All parties use the site at their own risk.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage for preferences, authentication state, and UI settings.
2. Why we use them
- Essential: sign-in sessions (including Firebase Authentication), security tokens, load balancing, and saving cookie preferences.
- Analytics: Google Analytics 4 (when configured) for aggregate page views and site usage — not for cross-site advertising.
- Functional: remembering UI choices, active account context, and development or demo preferences where applicable.
3. Your choices
Essential cookies are always active because the Service will not function without them.
You can clear cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may sign you out or reset preferences.
See the cookie categories summary at the bottom of this page for what InternPick uses today.
4. Third-party services
Some embedded services (such as maps or authentication providers) may set their own cookies subject to their policies. We encourage reviewing those providers’ notices when you interact with their features.
