Cookies
Last updated 11 September 2026.
PlatPost sets no advertising or analytics cookies and uses no third-party trackers. Every cookie below is strictly necessary for the service you asked for: staying signed in, and remembering your answer to the banner. Under UK GDPR and PECR, strictly necessary cookies do not need consent.
The banner still asks for your choice. It applies to any optional cookies we may add in the future, and none exist today. Your choice is kept for 12 months, then the banner asks again. You can change or withdraw your choice here at any time.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| plat_consent | Remembers your cookie choice so the banner does not repeat | 12 months |
| sb-<id>-auth-token | Keeps you signed in. Set by our sign-in system after a password, link or Google sign-in | Until you sign out; refreshed while you use the app |
The sign-in cookie may be split into two or more parts with a numbered suffix when it is long; they are one cookie for this purpose. A separate cookie exists only for the site operator's admin sign-in and is never set for visitors. Stripe sets its own cookies on the checkout page under its own policy, and X sets its own when you connect an account there.
