Why do we use cookies?
Cookies help us provide, protect and improve the Fixing.World Products, such as by personalizing content, tailoring and measuring ads, and providing a safer experience. The cookies that we use include session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which stay in your browser until they expire or you delete them. While the cookies that we use may change from time to time as we improve and update the Fixing.World Products, we use them for the following purposes:
Authentication
We use cookies to verify your account and determine when you’re logged in so that we can make it easier for you to access the Fixing.World Products and show you the appropriate experience and features.
For example: We use cookies to keep you logged in as you navigate between Fixing.World Pages. Cookies also help us remember your browser so you don't have to keep logging in to Fixing.World and so you can more easily log in to Fixing.World via third-party apps and websites.
Security, site and product integrity
We use cookies to help us keep your account, data and the Fixing.World Products safe and secure.
For example: Cookies can help us identify and impose additional security measures when someone may be attempting to access a Fixing.World account without authorization, for instance, by rapidly guessing different passwords. We also use cookies to store information that allows us to recover your account in the event that you forget your password or to require additional authentication if you tell us that your account has been hacked.
We also use cookies to combat activity that violates our policies or otherwise degrades our ability to provide the Fixing.World Products.
For example: Cookies help us fight spam and phishing attacks by enabling us to identify computers that are used to create large numbers of fake Fixing.World accounts. We also use cookies to detect computers infected with malware and to take steps to prevent them from causing further harm.
Advertising, recommendations, insights and measurement
We use cookies to help us show ads and to make recommendations for businesses and other organizations to people who may be interested in the products, services or causes they promote.
For example: Cookies allow us to help deliver ads to people who have previously visited a business’s website, purchased its products, or used its apps and to recommend products and services based on that activity. Cookies also allow us to limit the number of times that you see an ad, so you don’t see the same ad over and over again.
We also use cookies to help measure the performance of ad campaigns for businesses that use the Fixing.World Products.
For example: We use cookies to count the number of times that an ad is shown and to calculate the cost of those ads. We also use cookies to measure how often people do things, such as make a purchase following an ad impression.
Cookies help us serve and measure ads across different browsers and devices used by the same person.
For example: We can use cookies to prevent you from seeing the same ad over and over again across the different devices that you use.
Cookies also allow us to provide insights about the people who use the Fixing.World Products, as well as the people who interact with the ads, websites and apps of our advertisers and the businesses that use the Fixing.World Products.
For example: We use cookies to help businesses understand the kinds of people who like their Fixing.World Page or use their apps so that they can provide more relevant content and develop features that are likely to be interesting to their customers.
Site features and services

If you are a Fixing.World Page administrator, cookies allow you to switch between posting from your personal Fixing.World account and the Fixing.World Page.
We also use cookies to help provide you with content relevant to your locale.
For example: We store information in a cookie that is placed on your browser or device so that you will see the site in your preferred language.
