Advertisement cookies

Advertisement cookies are ad pixel cookies (such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Google) that you can opt to install using the HubSpot ads tool.

If you have the Facebook pixel code installed on your website, Facebook may set a cookie in a visitor's browser.

If you manually placed the pixel code on pages (e.g., by editing your site header HTML), HubSpot will not be able to control the visitors Facebook is able to set cookies on.
