Pop stories, on the home page, shows reels and posts through Instagram's and Facebook's own players, and Pop Proof can show a post from X. Nothing from those posts is copied to this site, and their owners stay in control of them.
- The Instagram and Facebook players load only after you press “Show the reel” or “Show the post” on a story. One yes turns them on for every story. From that moment Meta receives your IP address and details of your browser, and may set cookies of its own, much as it would if you opened Instagram or Facebook yourself. “Turn them off”, beside the stories, stops it.
- The post from X loads only if you press “Show the live post from X here”.
Until you press one of those, your browser makes no contact with these companies through this site. Pressing is your consent, and you can take it back at any time.
What those companies do with that information is set by their own policies: Meta and X.
