PHPSESSID— Identifies your session on the server. Required to keep you logged in to the editor, remember your selected language, and protect your account against unauthorized access. Duration: until you close the browser.
2.2. Cookies on Public User Profiles (opt-in pixels by profile owner)
Users with PRO plans can voluntarily activate third-party tracking pixels on their public profiles. When a profile owner activates these pixels, the associated cookies are loaded by those third parties and NOT by ForgeBio.io:

| TikTok Pixel | Tracking for TikTok Ads campaigns | Profile owner |
| LinkedIn Insight Tag | Tracking for LinkedIn Ads campaigns | Profile owner |
Important: ForgeBio.io does NOT collect or control the data that these third parties obtain through these pixels. The responsibility to obtain visitor consent lies with the profile owner who activates the pixel (GDPR Art. 4 — Data Controller). To exercise rights regarding this data, contact the owner of the profile you visited directly.
