Cookies

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. First-party cookies are set by PositionMySite. Third-party cookies are set by partners that provide analytics, advertising, or embedded features.

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Operate the site securely (essential functionality).
• Measure traffic and improve performance (analytics).
• Remember preferences where applicable (functional).
• Deliver and measure advertising, where used (marketing).

3. Types of cookies we use

3.1 Strictly necessary

These are required for the site to work (for example session continuity, security, load balancing). You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies without affecting core functionality.

3.2 Analytics and performance

These help us understand how visitors use our site (pages viewed, navigation, approximate geography).

3.3 Functional

Used to remember choices such as language or region, or to support features like chat or media players where present.

Duration: typically up to one year depending on the feature.

3.4 Targeting and advertising

Where we run digital advertising, partners may set cookies or use identifiers to measure campaigns, attribute conversions, or deliver relevant ads.

3.5 Social and embedded content

Social share buttons, embedded posts, or videos may set cookies when loaded. Those platforms process data under their own policies (for example Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram).

4. Other technologies

• Pixels / web beacons: small images or scripts used to track opens, views, or conversions (including in email where used).
• Local storage: browser storage for preferences or performance; may persist until cleared manually.
• Server logs: standard logs (IP address, user agent, URL, timestamp) for security and operations.

5. How to manage cookies

5.1 Browser settings

Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies. Blocking all cookies can break parts of the site.

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

5.2 Analytics opt-out

5.3 Advertising opt-outs

5.4 Do Not Track (DNT)

There is no consistent industry standard for DNT. We do not rely on DNT alone as a control signal; please use the choices above and our Privacy Policy to exercise your rights.

6. Cookie duration summary

• Session: removed when you close the browser (unless restored).
• Persistent: remain until they expire or you delete them—typical ranges: functional up to ~1 year; analytics up to ~2 years; advertising up to ~1 year depending on vendor.

Third parties set their own cookies. Examples:

• Google: Privacy Policy
