Cookie Policy

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order 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, Podsworth Media) 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. file import and payment integrations, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Neither our website (podsworth.com) nor our app (app.podsworth.com) uses analytics or advertising cookies; we count visits to our website without them, as described below.

The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our website and app and the purposes they perform are described below.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent and accept or reject it at that time, or you can choose to disable all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser’s controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.

a. Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and app and to use some of its features. For example, when you sign in to our app, we set a secure cookie that keeps you signed in for up to 30 days, and a cookie that lasts a few minutes while you sign in with Google, and another while you connect Google Drive or Dropbox to your account. They aren’t used for tracking or advertising.

b. Analytics: We don’t use analytics cookies, and our website doesn’t load any third-party analytics. It counts visits itself, without cookies or anything stored in your browser: for each page view we record the page, the site or link that brought you there, and a visitor code that is worked out from your IP address and browser with a secret that changes every day. The code can’t be turned back into your IP address, and because it changes daily we can’t follow you from one day to the next. If you go on to place an order, we keep the link or page that brought you with the order, so we can see which pages and partners lead to orders.

Yes. Our app stores a few small items in your browser’s local storage and session storage so it works: whether you’ve signed in on this browser before, which team account you’re working in, a team invitation you’re in the middle of accepting, and the order you’re working on.

These stay on your device and aren’t used for tracking or advertising. You can clear them in your browser’s settings, after which you may need to sign in again.

No. We do not serve any targeted third party advertising on our website or app. We may occasionally link to third party products or services when we review or discuss them in our blog, but there is no direct third party advertising on our website or app.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy shows when it was last updated.
