Description

Cookies

A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables SpeakerPost features and functionality. Any browser visiting our site may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-SpeakerPost sites that display ads or tags

We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie may help us recognize you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to SpeakerPost or interact with our Services without signing in again. A persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by SpeakerPost when you return to one of our sites or a partner site that uses our Services. Session cookies last only as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).

Pixels

A pixel is a tiny image that may be found within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with ads or posts. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.

Local storage

Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the SpeakerPost experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up site functionality.

Other similar technologies

We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy. References to similar technologies in this policy includes pixels, local storage, and other tracking technologies.

We may also work with our customers and partners to show you an ad on SpeakerPost via our timeline or newsletters. These technologies help us to provide aggregated information to our customers and partners.
