3.What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on a user's browser or device when visiting a website or using online services.

Cookies help platforms:

  • Authenticate users
  • Maintain sessions
  • Remember preferences
  • Improve security
  • Analyze performance
  • Enable integrations
  • Optimize functionality

PostSmith may also use related technologies including local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, SDK identifiers, API session identifiers, and web beacons. For simplicity, all such technologies may be referred to as “cookies” in this policy.

4.Types Of Cookies We Use

4.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for core platform functionality. Examples include authentication sessions, login state management, security verification, workspace access, OAuth session handling, CSRF protection, API authorization, infrastructure routing, load balancing, and session persistence.

Without essential cookies, core platform functionality may not operate properly.

4.2 Security Cookies

Security-related cookies help protect user accounts, authentication flows, API infrastructure, connected integrations, and platform sessions. These cookies may support abuse prevention, fraud detection, bot mitigation, unauthorized access prevention, risk analysis, and session validation.

4.3 Analytics & Performance Cookies

These cookies help PostSmith understand platform usage and improve performance. Examples may include page interaction analytics, session analytics, feature usage metrics, error diagnostics, performance monitoring, infrastructure telemetry, device and browser metrics, and UI interaction statistics. Analytics data is generally aggregated and used to improve platform reliability and user experience.

4.4 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help remember user preferences and platform settings. Examples may include language preferences, theme settings, workspace selections, dashboard preferences, region settings, scheduling preferences, and UI customization. These cookies improve usability and workflow continuity.

4.5 Integration & OAuth Cookies

PostSmith supports integrations with external platforms and services. Cookies or session technologies may be used during OAuth authorization flows, API authentication, social platform connections, token synchronization, integration verification, webhook management, and connected account validation.

Examples of integrated platforms may include Instagram, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Google services, Pinterest, X (Twitter), Bluesky, WordPress, and additional future integrations. These systems are necessary for maintaining authorized platform connectivity.

4.6 Waitlist & Communication Cookies

PostSmith may use cookies related to waitlist participation, email subscription state, communication preferences, access request flows, and notification preferences. These systems help manage onboarding and product communications.

5.Third-Party Cookies

Certain third-party providers may place cookies or related technologies through PostSmith services. Examples may include providers supporting analytics, payments, AI infrastructure, authentication, cloud hosting, CDN services, security monitoring, and social integrations — such as Google, Stripe, Cloudflare, Meta, LinkedIn, OpenAI, and additional infrastructure providers.

Third-party providers maintain their own policies and practices regarding cookies and tracking technologies.

PostSmith does not control third-party cookie behavior outside its own services.

6.How Cookies Are Used

Cookies may be used to:

  • Authenticate users
  • Maintain login sessions
  • Protect infrastructure
  • Improve platform performance
  • Analyze usage trends
  • Enable integrations
  • Synchronize publishing systems
  • Remember user settings
  • Detect abuse or fraud
  • Maintain operational reliability
  • Support AI and automation workflows
  • Monitor API health and performance

Cookies are not used by PostSmith to sell personal data to advertisers.

7.Social Media & Embedded Integrations

PostSmith may interact with external social media APIs and services. External platforms may independently use cookies or related technologies during authentication, OAuth authorization, embedded content rendering, analytics synchronization, publishing workflows, and social media integrations.

Users remain subject to the cookie and privacy policies of connected third-party platforms.

8.AI Systems & Operational Telemetry

Certain AI-assisted systems may use temporary session technologies for prompt continuity, workflow context, infrastructure stability, request processing, usage balancing, and operational diagnostics.

These systems help maintain performance and reliability of AI-powered features.

9.Managing Cookies

Most browsers allow users to:

  • Block cookies
  • Delete stored cookies
  • Restrict tracking
  • Disable third-party cookies
  • Clear local storage
  • Configure browser privacy settings

Disabling cookies may impact login functionality, platform stability, connected integrations, session persistence, AI workflows, dashboard functionality, and publishing systems.

Users may need certain essential cookies enabled for PostSmith to function properly.

10.Browser Controls

Users may manage cookies through browser settings including Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc, and mobile browsers.

Browser functionality and cookie management options vary depending on the platform and device.

11.Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers support “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals. Because industry standards remain inconsistent, PostSmith may not respond uniformly to all DNT signals.

Users may still manage cookie behavior directly through browser settings.

12.Data Retention

Cookies may persist for different durations depending on functionality. Examples include session cookies that expire automatically, persistent cookies for preferences, security cookies for authentication continuity, and operational cookies supporting integrations.

Retention periods vary depending on technical and operational requirements.

13.International Users

PostSmith infrastructure and third-party providers may process cookie-related data across multiple jurisdictions, including the United States.

By using the platform, users acknowledge potential international processing and storage of operational data.

14.Changes To This Cookie Policy

PostSmith may update this Cookie Policy periodically. Updates may occur due to platform changes, new integrations, legal requirements, infrastructure updates, or security improvements.

Material updates may be communicated through website notices, dashboard notifications, and email communications. Continued use of PostSmith after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Cookie Policy.
