  • Pixels/Web Beacons: Small transparent images used to track user behavior and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in the "Privacy" or "Security" section of your browser. Common options include:

6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature, and privacy-focused browsers and extensions can send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. We honor both signals: when either is present, behavioral analytics (PostHog) is not loaded at all, and ads are requested as non-personalized. You can also use the cookie management options described above to limit tracking.
