Cookies Policy
Last Updated: June 12, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookies Policy explains how our audio platform ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website and use our mobile application (collectively, the "Service"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, our Company) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Service to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Service. Third parties serve cookies through our Service for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
3.1 Types of Cookies We Use
| Type of Cookie | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Service and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like secure login or shopping carts, cannot be provided. |
| Performance/Analytics Cookies | These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Service. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. |
| Functionality Cookies | These cookies enable the Service to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. |
| Targeting/Advertising Cookies | These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. |
| Social Media Cookies | These cookies are set by social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. |
4. Mobile Application Specific Storage
In addition to cookies, our mobile application may use:
- Local Storage: Used to store user preferences, authentication tokens, and offline content.
- IndexedDB: Used to store larger amounts of data, including downloaded audio files for offline listening.
- Cache Storage: Used to improve performance by caching assets and content.
5. How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner or by adjusting the settings in your browser or device.
5.1 Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
5.2 Mobile Device Controls
Most mobile devices provide options to limit tracking or to reset the advertising identifier. Please check your device settings for more information.
5.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. This feature is not yet uniform across browsers, so we do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.
6. Specific Cookies We Use
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| auth_token | Authentication | 30 days | Essential |
| session_id | Session management | Session | Essential |
