04. Affiliate & Partner Cookies
When you click a tool listing that participates in an affiliate or partner program — such as those managed through PartnerStack — a tracking cookie or redirect parameter is set by the partner platform to record the referral. This allows Toosio to receive a commission if you subsequently sign up or make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.
These cookies are set by the partner platform, not by Toosio directly, and are governed by the respective partner's privacy policy. Toosio does not have access to any personal data collected through these third-party tracking mechanisms. Our affiliate participation is disclosed in accordance with FTC guidelines and our Terms of Service →
