Cookie Policy
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that our website places on your device when you visit. They store information like your site preferences and browsing activity.
2. Why do we use them?
Strictly necessary cookies enable core functionality (e.g., forms, navigation). These do not require your consent.
Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how you use the site and how to improve it.
Functionality cookies remember your preferences (e.g., embedded podcast visibility).
Marketing and targeting cookies support social embeds, personalization, and promotion tracking.
Cookies are only placed after obtaining your consent—except those necessary for the site to operate—ensuring compliance before any non-essential cookies run
3. Your consent matters
On your first visit, you’ll see a banner allowing you to Accept All, Reject Non‑Essentials, or Customize Settings. No pre‑ticked boxes are used—consent must be given explicitly. Refusing non-essential cookies won’t block your access to our content, but those cookies won’t activate .
4. Transparency about third‑party cookies
We may load content from third parties (e.g., Spotify embeds, social platforms). These may place their own cookies—strictly after your consent. We clearly identify each provider, describe what their cookies do, and how long they last
5. Granular control & easy withdrawal
You can adjust your cookie settings at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer or by changing your browser settings. Changing your mind after giving consent is simple, transparent, and fully respected .
6. Data retention
For each cookie type, we specify how long it lasts (session vs persistent), and whether it’s accessed by third parties—reflecting best practice and legal requirements .
7. Maintaining compliance & records
We keep records of consents to show compliance with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations, and we block non-essential cookies until consent is received
8. Updates to this policy
Any changes to our cookies or legal obligations will be reflected with an update here. The “Last updated” date will always show when significant changes occur.
