Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website or use a web application. They are widely used to make websites and applications work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to site operators. Cookies can be "persistent" -- remaining on your device until they expire or are manually deleted -- or "session-based", meaning they are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels may be used alongside cookies for comparable purposes.

2. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Postnomic platform to function. They enable core features such as user authentication, secure session management, CSRF attack prevention, cookie consent preference storage, and load balancer affinity. Without these cookies the Service cannot operate correctly and core features including signing in, managing blogs, and publishing content will not be available. Essential cookies do not require your prior consent under applicable EU law because they are technically necessary for the delivery of the Service you have explicitly requested. We do not use essential cookies for tracking or marketing purposes.

3. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors and users interact with the Postnomic platform by collecting aggregated, anonymized usage information. This data allows us to identify which features are most used, detect performance bottlenecks, improve navigation flows, and prioritize development work. We use Azure Application Insights for analytics, which processes all data exclusively within the European Union. Analytics cookies are optional and require your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time via our cookie settings panel. Examples of data collected include page views, session duration, feature engagement, and error occurrences -- none of which are tied to personally identifiable information after anonymization.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced personalization and remembered preferences that improve your experience across visits. They may be set by us or by trusted third-party providers integrated into our platform. These cookies remember choices such as your selected language, preferred theme (dark or light mode), editor toolbar configuration, dashboard widget arrangement, and notification preferences. Without functional cookies you may need to reconfigure your preferences on every visit. Functional cookies do not track your activity across external websites and are used solely to improve your in-platform experience. They are optional and subject to your consent.

5. Managing Cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie consent banner, which appears on your first visit to postnomic.com and can be revisited via the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer. You may grant or withdraw consent for each non-essential cookie category independently. In addition, most modern web browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their privacy settings. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or alert you before a cookie is set. Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using core platform features including logging in and managing your account. For browser-specific instructions, please consult your browser's help documentation. Changing browser settings will not affect your consent choices stored in our cookie preference center.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technical practices, the cookies we use, or requirements under applicable law. When we make material changes to this policy we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by displaying a notification banner on our platform. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact our data protection team at privacy@postnomic.com or write to: threeb-it GmbH, Große Elbstraße 39, 22767 Hamburg, Germany.
