Cookie Policy
Effective Date: May 5, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how PostPilot ("Company", "we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at postpilot.social ("Website") and use our services ("Service"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, PostPilot) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website and Service to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
What types of cookies do we use?
Essential Website Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and Service and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas and processing payments. These may be set by us or by essential third-party providers acting on our behalf.
- Authentication & Session Cookies: Used to manage your login sessions, maintain application state, and keep you securely logged in.
- Security Cookies: Used for security purposes, such as protecting against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks during authentication flows.
- Payment Processing Cookies: Used by our payment processor(s) to securely handle payments and prevent fraud when you make a purchase.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website and Service, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website and Service function. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, as described below under "How can you control cookies?".
Performance and Functionality Cookies
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website and Service but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable. (We currently do not use specific cookies in this category, but reserve the right to do so in the future, e.g., for remembering user preferences).
Analytics and Customization Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you. (We currently do not use specific cookies in this category, but may implement analytics like Vercel Analytics or Google Analytics in the future).
Other Tracking Technologies
We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an e-mail including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
How can you control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
