**Cookies**

Disqus uses 'authentication' cookies, e.g., sessionid, disqusauth, and disqusauths, to keep you logged in from your web browser and personalize your Disqus experience.

Disqus uses 'unique' cookies, e.g., disqus_unique and _jid, to associate web-based activities with a page load and with a web browser, including activities that violate our Terms of Service, and understand your interests and product usage.

When Disqus loads ads, we use ad serving technologies from Google that may set cookies for the purposes of personalized marketing, associating ads with later activities, and limiting how often you are shown specific ads.


**OTHER THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING PARTNERS**

We work with several third party partners to serve relevant advertising within the Disqus comment embed on partner websites. We do not share your information with these partners, however, in the course of serving or displaying ads through Disqus, these partners may place a cookie on your browser. We expect all third party partners to follow all relevant privacy laws and regulations when serving ads through Disqus.
