1. What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website or use an application. Cookies store information about your browsing and are essential for the proper functioning of many online services.
2. Cookies Used by Posty
Posty uses different categories of cookies:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the service. They cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Finalite | Duree | Fournisseur |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firebase Auth Session | Authentication and session management | Session | Firebase (Google) |
| twitter_code_verifier | Twitter login security (OAuth PKCE) | 10 minutes | Posty |
| posty_theme | Remembering your theme preference (light/dark) | Persistent | Posty (localStorage) |
| posty_cookie_consent | Recording your cookie consent choices | 12 months | Posty (localStorage) |
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enhance your user experience but are not essential.
| Cookie | Finalite | Duree | Fournisseur |
|---|---|---|---|
| posty_sidebar_collapsed | Remembering sidebar state | Persistent | Posty (localStorage) |
| posty_onboarding_completed | Knowing if onboarding was completed | Persistent | Posty (localStorage) |
| posty_last_visited_page | Remembering the last visited page | Persistent | Posty (localStorage) |
2.3 Analytics Cookies (optional)
These identifiers measure how visitors reach and use Posty (traffic source, pages viewed, plan clicks, sign-up) so that we can improve the service. They are set only with your explicit consent, and never if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal. Withdrawing your consent erases them from your browser.
| Cookie | Finalite | Duree | Fournisseur |
|---|---|---|---|
| posty_vid (local storage) | Random visitor identifier, used to count visits and link them to their acquisition source | Until you withdraw consent or clear your browser data; server-side records are kept 13 months at most | Posty |
| posty_sid (session storage) | Random session identifier (a session ends after 30 minutes of inactivity) | Browser session | Posty |
Posty does not use third-party analytics services (no Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, etc.). All measurements are performed on our own infrastructure. Analytics records contain no IP address and no browser fingerprint, only a country-level location provided by our hosting provider. If you create an account, your visitor identifier may be linked to it so that your sign-up can be attributed to its acquisition source; this link is deleted with your account.
2.4 Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services may set cookies during their use:
| Service | Finalite | Duree | Fournisseur |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Payment security and fraud prevention | Variable | Stripe Inc. |
| LinkedIn OAuth | LinkedIn connection and publishing | Session | LinkedIn (Microsoft) |
| Twitter/X OAuth | Twitter/X connection and publishing | Session | X Corp. |
| Facebook/Threads OAuth | Facebook/Threads connection and publishing | Session | Meta Platforms |
These third-party cookies are subject to the privacy policies of their respective providers.
3. Managing Your Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:
Via the cookie banner
On your first visit, a banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
Via application settings
In Settings > Privacy Preferences, you can change your choices at any time.
Via your browser
You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Please note that this may affect the functioning of the service.
4. Consequences of Refusing Cookies
Refusing strictly necessary cookies may prevent the use of the service (authentication impossible). Refusing analytics cookies has no impact on your use of the service.
5. Retention Period
Your cookie preferences are stored for 12 months. At the end of this period, your consent will be requested again.
6. Updates to This Policy
This cookie policy may be updated to reflect changes in our practices or for regulatory reasons. The last updated date is indicated at the top of this page.
