Cookie Policy

Effective as of October 16, 2021.      

This “Cookie Policy” describes the privacy practices of Vocal Pockets, LLC (“Vocal Pockets”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) in connection with the Platform (as defined in our Terms of Use), and the rights and choices available to individuals with respect to their information. Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined have the meaning ascribed to them in the Terms of Use. This Cookie Policy is hereby incorporated into the Terms of Use.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience. 

Our Site may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them). 

We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Site;  and (2) third party cookies, which are served by service providers or business partners on our Site, and can be used by these parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites.  Third party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including site analytics, advertising and social media features.

What types of cookies and similar tracking technologies does Vocal Pockets use on the Site?

On the Site, we use cookies and other tracking technologies in the following categories described in the table below.

Other technologies

In addition to cookies, our Site may use other technologies, such as Flash technology and pixel tags to collect information automatically.

Web Beacons

We may also use web beacons (which are also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) on our Site and in our HTML formatted emails to track the actions of users on our Site and interactions with our emails.  Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages or within HTML formatted emails. Pixel tags are used to demonstrate that a webpage was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails and to compile statistics about usage of the Site, so that we can manage our content more effectively.

 YOUR CHOICES

Like many companies online, we use services provided by Google and others companies that use tracking technology.  Your choices for opting out of these companies’ use of your personal information for interest-based advertising include:

  • Blocking cookies in your browser.  Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies, including cookies used for interest-based advertising.  To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings.  For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit allaboutcookies.org
  • Blocking advertising ID use in your mobile settings.  Your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes.
  • Using privacy plug-ins or browsers.  You can block our websites from setting cookies used for interest-based ads by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins like Privacy Badger, Ghostery or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third party cookies/trackers.
  • Platform opt-outs.  The opt out for Google can be found below.
  • Advertising industry opt-out tools.  Some of our business partners that collect information about users’ activities on or through the Site may be members of organizations or programs that provide choices to individuals regarding the use of their browsing behavior or mobile application usage for purposes of targeted advertising. You can use the following opt-out options to limit use of your information for interest-based advertising by participating companies:
    • Digital Advertising Alliance:  optout.aboutads.info
    • Network Advertising Initiative: optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1
    • European users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here, selecting the user’s country, and then clicking “Choices” (or similarly titled link).
    • Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.

If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may not be relevant to you.  Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.

For more information about how we collect, use and share your information, see our Privacy Policy.

CHANGES

Information about the cookies we use may be updated from time to time, so please check back on a regular basis for any changes.
