Facebook SDK / Social Plugins

Functional

Facebook JavaScript SDK and social plugins (Like button, comments, share).

The Facebook SDK sets sb, datr, fr, wd and other cookies even before user interaction. Because Facebook is a joint controller in Meta's own terms, loading the SDK requires marketing consent in most EU guidance. Treat similarly to Meta Pixel.

Categorisation follows common EU/DPC guidance. Your specific deployment may change the category (e.g. Stripe on a checkout page vs. a marketing page).
