What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work efficiently, to remember your choices, and to give the people who run them a clear picture of how the service is used.
02
How we use them
Across a library of more than 500,000 titles, cookies help us do a handful of specific things:
Keep you signed in and your library secure
Track your monthly credit and the titles you keep
Remember your language and playback preferences
Measure how the service is used, so we can improve it
Surface titles and offers likely to interest you
03
The types we set
Essential
Required for the service to work. They keep you signed in to your library, protect your account and credits, and make core features accessible.
Analytics
Help us understand how listeners discover and use the library, reported in aggregate so we can keep improving the experience.
Preference
Remember your choices — language, playback settings, and where you left off — so your library feels like yours from the first tap.
Marketing
Used to measure our campaigns and share titles with people likely to love them. Always optional.
04
Third-party cookies
Alongside our own, we rely on a small number of trusted partners for analytics, payments, and advertising measurement. These providers may set their own cookies on your device, governed by their respective privacy policies.
