1What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide analytics information to website owners. FeedMarch also uses similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy covers all such technologies.
2How We Obtain Your Consent

Essential cookies (Category 1 below) are deployed automatically as they are strictly necessary to operate the platform. All other categories require your active consent.

4Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on FeedMarch are set by third-party services that we use. These third parties have their own privacy policies which govern how they use cookie data:
- —Cloudflare: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ (bot protection, CDN)
- —Supabase: supabase.com/privacy (authentication, database)
- —Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy (usage analytics, if you consent)
- —OpenAI: openai.com/privacy (text moderation, server-side only, no cookies)
5Managing & Withdrawing Cookie Consent
You have several ways to manage cookies:
Cookie Settings Banner
Use the cookie preferences panel accessible from the footer of any FeedMarch page to enable or disable optional cookie categories.
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will impair or prevent your use of FeedMarch.
Opt-Out Tools
For Google Analytics specifically, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before you withdrew consent.
6Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. FeedMarch does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-wide standard for how they should be interpreted. We will revisit this as standards develop.
7Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as regulations evolve. We will notify you of material changes via the cookie consent banner on your next visit, which will give you the opportunity to review and re-consent.
