Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookies Policy explains how AdvertMingo uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and in our applications, including when users log in through social media platforms such as Meta (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedInetc.).
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy which explains how we collect, use and protect your personal data.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or
- Persistent cookies, which stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Similar technologies include pixels, SDKs, local storage, and tracking scripts, which perform similar functions.
3. How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
a. Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for the operation of our website and login features. They enable core functions such as:
- Authenticating users and maintaining secure sessions
- Managing consent preferences
- Protecting against fraud and misuse
You cannot disable these cookies through our cookie banner, but you may do so through your browser settings (which may affect functionality).
b. Performance and analytics cookies
These help us understand how users interact with our site, such as which pages are visited most often and how long visitors stay.
We use tools such as Google Analytics and internal analytics to improve site usability and performance.
Data is anonymised or aggregated where possible.
c. Advertising and targeting cookies
We use these to deliver relevant advertising and to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns.
This includes sharing hashed or pseudonymised identifiers with social media and advertising partners (such as Meta, LinkedIn, Google Ads, or other networks) to:
- Create or enrich audience segments
- Run look-alike or retargeting campaigns
- Measure conversions and campaign results
We only use these cookies when you give us consent through the cookie banner.
d. Social media cookies
When you log in or interact through social media features (e.g. “Login with Facebook”, “Share”, or “Like” buttons), the social media platform may place its own cookies on your device.
These cookies allow the platform to recognise you and link your activity to your account, subject to that platform’s own privacy and cookies policies.
You can control these cookies directly through your social media account settings.
