We do not use advertising cookies. We do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising and we do not place third-party advertising tags on our site.
04Third-party cookies
When you connect a social platform via Upload-Post or watch an embedded third-party video, those services may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies. We do not control those cookies; please check the relevant provider's policy if you have questions.
05Your choices
You can control non-essential cookies in a few ways:
- In your browser — most browsers let you block or delete cookies, either entirely or per site. Blocking strictly- necessary cookies will break sign-in.
- Do Not Track — we honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out of any sale or sharing of personal information, though we do not currently sell or share for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Mobile devices — your operating system provides controls to limit ad tracking.
Where required by law, we will request your consent through a banner before placing non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your cookies and reloading the page.
06Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves. We will update the “Last updated” date when material changes are made. Contact us at privacy@socialboiler.app with any questions.
