Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels, which work in comparable ways.
2. How We Use Cookies
Positli uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the platform, authenticate users, maintain sessions, understand how the platform is used, and support marketing activities. We do not use cookies to personally identify you for advertising purposes without your knowledge.

These cookies are set by third-party advertising platforms and are subject to their privacy policies. You may opt out of interest-based advertising through your browser settings or through the platform's ad preference controls.
