Go learn what a cookie is and what it does.
Poal requires only one cookie (per session) that contains the default mode (day/gray/dark) and the session token. Nothing else.
Check it yourself in your browser.
Why does it only show up on Gab???
It happens on gab, so it has nothing to do with poal.
Check poal's cookie and as explained in my previous comment you'll see that it doesn't track anything.
As usual AOU is technically correct but has the bedside manner of a jackass. I will potentially waste my time but I will attempt to explain ...
- Poal.co has to set a cookie to track your session so that basic login functionality can work.
- Websites can attempt to read any cookie on your system, even cookies from other sites. These are known as third-party cookies
- There are lots of advertising companies that install their own cookies to track you. They sell a service where a website owner can read the third-party tracking cookies on a user's browser and then look up info about the user from the marketing company data base. Because of this there are apps like uMatrix that monitor cookie use and access.
What you are seeing is not Poal.co tracking you but rather the gab.com website reading your Poal.co cookie as a method to identify Poal.co users.
Go home. You're drunk
Drunkenness is wickedness. I was not and will not be drunk.
