About Pinterest
Pinterest's own domains cover both the "Pin it" buttons and embedded boards seen on other sites, and the Pinterest tag used for ad conversion measurement.
The tag, served from ct.pinterest.com, reports page visits and events back to Pinterest so advertisers running Pinterest campaigns can measure conversions, setting a cookie such as _pin_unauth for visitors without a Pinterest account.
Users with a Pinterest account can adjust personalization settings directly on the site.

Understanding this page
- What the tracker categories mean
What "advertising," "analytics," "social," "consent" and the rest actually mean for a company or a cookie, and how CookieTosser decides which one applies.
- First-party vs third-party cookies (and why "first-party" still tracks you)
What the distinction actually means technically, why browsers only block one of the two, and how CNAME cloaking, server-side tagging and cookies like _ga let sites keep tracking under their own domain.
- How to block or limit trackers
Browser privacy settings, content blockers, Global Privacy Control and clearing cookies compared honestly — what each one actually stops, what it doesn't, and what it costs you in return.
