Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve performance, and provide information to site owners. Cookies may be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by external services we use).

Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

2. Cookies we use

We keep cookies to a minimum. The Podcast Growth Studio website does not set its own analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies, and we do not run an analytics product such as Google Analytics or an advertising pixel.

The only cookies that may be set come from third-party tools we embed, and only when you choose to use them:

• Contact form (Tally): our contact page embeds a Tally form. Tally may set cookies needed to run and protect that form when you interact with it.
• Scheduling (Calendly): if you follow our "book a call" link, Calendly may set its own cookies on its page.

These third-party cookies are controlled by those providers under their own privacy and cookie policies, not by us. Our hosting provider may also set a small number of strictly necessary cookies for security and reliability. If we add our own analytics or advertising in the future, we will update this policy and add a consent banner before placing any non-essential cookies.

3. How to manage cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

3.1 Consent

Because we do not place analytics or advertising cookies of our own, the site does not currently show a cookie consent banner. You can still control any third-party cookies set by the tools above through your browser settings or the opt-out tools below.

3.2 Browser settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find cookie controls in your browser's "Settings," "Preferences," or "Privacy" section. Here are instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Other Site Data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions > Manage and Delete Cookies

3.3 Opt-out tools

You can opt out of specific third-party cookies using the following tools:

• Google Analytics: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
• General advertising cookies: Visit Your Online Choices (EU) or DAA Opt-Out (US)

3.4 Impact of disabling cookies

Please note that disabling or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without affecting core site features such as form submissions and session management.

4. Changes to this cookie policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie usage or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with the revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
