Cookie Policy

Effective date: 28 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Postia ("Postia", "we", "us", "our"), operated by My Viral Vault LTD, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and application at getpostia.com (the "Service").

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back or browse from one page to another.

We also use similar technologies such as web beacons and local storage where they serve the same function.

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential to make the Service work. They cannot be switched off. They include:

Cookie Purpose Duration
session Keeps you logged in to your Postia account Session / persistent (up to 30 days)
csrf_token Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks Session

2.2 Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Service so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible.

Cookie Purpose Duration
_ga Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users 2 years
_ga_* Google Analytics — maintains session state 2 years
_gid Google Analytics — distinguishes users (short-term) 24 hours

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC in accordance with Google's own privacy policy. For more information, visit policies.google.com/privacy.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some pages may load content from third parties (such as embedded videos or widgets) that set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the relevant third party's cookie policy for details.

Third-party services that may set cookies include:

  • Stripe — payment processing (may set fraud-prevention cookies during checkout)
  • Pinterest — when you connect your Pinterest account via OAuth

4. How to Control Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

4.1 Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete them. The settings differ by browser — look in your browser's "Help", "Preferences", or "Settings" menu. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect the Service's functionality (you may not be able to stay logged in).

4.2 Google Analytics opt-out

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" setting. We currently honour this signal by limiting analytics collection where it is detected, but browser-level Do Not Track is not universally standardised.

5. Cookies and Personal Data

Where cookies are used to collect personal data (such as a unique identifier tied to your account), that processing is governed by our Privacy Policy. Analytics cookies may collect IP addresses that are considered personal data under UK/EU GDPR — we rely on legitimate interests for analytics, or your consent where required.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features or analytics tools. We'll update the effective date above when we do so. Continued use of the Service after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
