Last updated: March 11, 2026

Only technologies confirmed in the current PublishLayer codebase are listed below.

Category	Provider	Purpose	Type	Persistence
Functional	PublishLayer	Essential session handling, authentication, request security, and core site or app behavior.	First-party cookies	Depends on session configuration
Performance monitoring	PublishLayer	Pageview and content engagement measurement for public pages, blog content, and related performance reporting.	First-party script and session-scoped storage	Session-scoped identifier stored in sessionStorage

PublishLayer uses essential first-party cookies to keep the website and platform working, including session handling, authentication, and request security.
These cookies support sign-in, form protection, and other core interface behavior.

The public site loads PublishLayer's own pl.js monitoring script from the PublishLayer tracking subdomain.
The script records page views and engagement signals such as scroll depth, read-through, and read time for blog and content performance reporting.
The script uses a session-scoped identifier in browser sessionStorage rather than a long-lived marketing cookie.
The tracking script respects Do Not Track when it is enabled in the browser.

No dedicated cookie banner or preference center is currently implemented in this codebase.
No advertising, retargeting, social media, or separate third-party analytics tracking snippets were found on the public site or app.
If PublishLayer introduces new tracking tools, this page will be updated.
