Cookie Policy
What are cookies and what does this policy cover?
Effective 10/04/2025
Cookies are small text files used to store information in web browsers. They are employed to store and receive identifiers and other data on computers, smartphones, and other devices. Other technologies, including data we store on your browser or device, identifiers associated with your device, and other software, are used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all these technologies as “cookies.”
If you have a Poosting account, use Poosting Products, including our websites and applications, or access other websites and applications that employ Poosting Products (such as the Like button), know that we use cookies. With them, Poosting can offer its Products and understand the information we receive about you, including data about the use of other websites and applications, or if you have already registered or logged in.
This policy details how we use cookies and the options available to you. Unless otherwise indicated in this policy, Poosting’s Privacy Policy will apply to our processing of data collected through cookies.
Why do we use cookies?
Cookies help us provide, protect, and improve Poosting Products, whether by personalizing content, measuring and adapting ads, or enabling a safer experience. The cookies we use include session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain in the browser until they expire or you delete them. The cookies that Poosting uses may vary as we improve and update Poosting Products, and we generally employ them for the following purposes:
Authentication
We use cookies to verify your account and identify when you log in. This way, we can facilitate your access to Poosting Products and present you with the appropriate experience and features.
For example: We use cookies to keep your account logged in while you browse Poosting Pages. Cookies also help us remember your browser so you don’t have to log in to Poosting every time and can access it more easily when using third-party applications and websites. For example, we use the “c_user” and “xs” cookies, which have a lifespan of 365 days, for this purpose.
Product, site, and security integrity
We use cookies to help us keep your account, your data, and Poosting Products safe and secure.
For example: Cookies can help us identify and apply additional security measures when someone tries to access a Poosting account without authorization, for example, by trying to guess different passwords quickly. We also use cookies to store information that allows us to recover your account if you forget your password or to require additional authentication if you inform us that your account has been compromised. This includes, for example, the “sb” and “dbln” cookies, which allow us to securely identify your browser, as well as the “datr.” The “datr” is a unique identifier for your browser that, among other things, helps us protect you against fraud. For example, it helps us identify trusted browsers where you have previously logged in. The “datr” has a lifespan of 400 days.
We also use them to combat activities that violate our policies or that harm our ability to provide Poosting Products.
For example: Cookies help us combat spam and phishing attacks by allowing us to identify computers used to create a large number of fake Poosting accounts. We also use cookies to detect computers infected with malware and to take measures to prevent them from causing further harm. Our “csrf” cookie, for example, helps us prevent cross-site request forgery attacks. The “datr” cookie also helps us identify browsers used by malicious agents and prevent cybersecurity attacks, such as a denial-of-service attack that could prevent you from accessing Poosting Products. Cookies also help us prevent minors from registering for Poosting accounts.
Advertising, recommendations, information, and measurement
We use cookies to help us display ads and recommend companies and other organizations to users who may be interested in the products, services, or causes they promote.
For example: Cookies allow us to serve ads to people who have already visited a company’s website, purchased its products, or used its applications, and also allow us to recommend products and services based on that activity. They also allow us to limit the number of times you see an ad so you don’t see it repeatedly. For example, the “fr” cookie, with a lifespan of 90 days, is used to serve, evaluate, and improve the relevance of ads.
We also use cookies to help us measure the performance of ad campaigns from companies that use Poosting Products.
For example: We use cookies to count the number of times an ad is displayed and calculate the cost of those ads. We also use cookies to measure how often people perform actions, such as a purchase after an ad impression. For example, the “_fbp” cookie, with a lifespan of 90 days, identifies browsers to provide advertising and website analysis services.
Cookies help us display and measure ads across different browsers and devices used by the same person.
For example: We may use cookies to prevent you from seeing the same ad repeatedly across all the devices you use.
Cookies also allow us to obtain information about people who use Poosting Products and who interact with ads, websites, and applications from our advertisers and from companies that use Poosting Products.
For example: We use cookies to help companies understand the type of person who likes the Poosting Page they manage or uses the applications they develop. This way, companies can offer more relevant content and develop features that are likely to be of interest to customers.
We also use cookies like our “oo,” with a lifespan of 400 days, to help you opt out of seeing Poosting ads based on your activity on third-party websites. Learn more about the information we receive, how we decide which ads are displayed inside and outside Poosting Products, and the controls available to you.
Website features and services
We use cookies to enable functionality that helps us offer Poosting Products.
For example: Cookies help us store preferences, know when you have viewed or interacted with content from Poosting Products, and provide personalized content and experiences. For example, cookies allow us to make suggestions to you and others and personalize content on third-party websites that integrate our social plugins. If you manage a Poosting Page, cookies allow you to switch between posting on your personal Poosting account and the Poosting Page. We use cookies like “presence,” which is session-based, to support the use of Messenger chat windows.
We also use cookies to provide content relevant to your location.
For example: We store information in a cookie placed on your browser or device so that you see the website in your preferred language.
Performance
We use cookies to provide you with the best possible experience.
For example: Cookies help us route traffic between servers and know the loading speed of Poosting Products for different people. Cookies also help us record your screen and window dimensions and know if you have enabled high contrast mode. This way, we can process our websites and applications appropriately. For example, we set the “dpr” and “wd” cookies, each with a lifespan of seven days, so that you have an optimized experience on your device screen.
Analytics and research
We use cookies to better understand how people use Poosting Products and, thus, improve them.
For example: Cookies can help us understand how people use the Poosting service, analyze which parts of our Products are considered most useful and engaging by users, and identify features that can be improved.
Third-party websites and applications
Our business partners may also choose to share information with Poosting using cookies set on their respective website domains. This happens regardless of whether you have a Poosting account or have logged into it. Specifically, cookies named _fbc or _fbp may be set on the domain of the business partner whose website you are visiting. Unlike cookies set on Poosting domains, these cookies cannot be accessed by Poosting when you are on a different website than the one where they were set, including when you are on one of our domains. They have the same purposes as cookies set on the Poosting domain, which are to personalize content (including ads), measure ads, generate analytics, and provide a safer experience, as established in this Cookie Policy.
