Cookie Policy

This Cookies & Similar Technologies Policy ("CST Policy") describes how Pocket Entertainment Ventures Private Limited, Pocket Entertainment Corp., Pocket Entertainment Services LLC, and their affiliates and group companies (collectively, "Pocket FM," "we," "us," or "our") use cookies and similar technologies on https://pocketfm.com/ ("Site").

We may update this CST Policy at any time. Please check the "LAST REVISED" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

If you have any questions, please contact us at privacy@pocketfm.com.

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device across pages and visits, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you use the site.

We also use similar technologies, including:

• Pixel tags / web beacons: Small transparent images embedded in pages or emails that record whether content has been viewed and help measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
• Device fingerprinting: A technique that derives a unique identifier for your device from attributes such as browser type, screen resolution, installed fonts, and IP address. We use this for fraud prevention, authentication, and, where you have consented, to deliver content we believe may interest you.

You can control cookies through your browser settings or through our cookie consent tool. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Do We Use?

We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies. Where any of these technologies process personal data, our Privacy Policy applies and complements this CST Policy.

Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, making a payment, or setting your language preferences.

Essential cookies support the following functions:

• Authenticating your identity and maintaining your logged-in session
• Routing your requests to the correct server (load balancing)
• Preventing cross-site request forgery (security)
• Remembering items in your cart or unlock flow between pages
• Redirecting you to the correct page after login or after completing a transaction
• Processing and completing payments and in-app purchases

These cookies are set by Pocket FM and, where necessary for the functions above, by our authentication and infrastructure providers. They are active only for the duration needed to support the function for which they were set (typically session-length or up to 30 days).

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow the Site to remember choices you have made, such as your language, region, or UI settings, so we can personalize your experience on return visits. These cookies do not track your activity across other websites.

Preference cookies support the following functions:

• Storing your selected language and locale (e.g., English / US, German / DE)
• Preserving UI state, such as whether the audio player sidebar is expanded or collapsed

These cookies are set exclusively by Pocket FM. They are typically persistent for up to 12 months. We will seek your consent before placing preference cookies where required by applicable law.

Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site—such as which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter errors—so that we can improve its performance and usability. The information collected is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.

Analytics cookies support the following functions:

• Counting visits and measuring traffic sources so we can assess and improve Site performance
• Recording session-level activity, page load times, errors, and user interactions for performance monitoring and debugging
• Identifying anonymous browsers across visits to distinguish new from returning visitors
• Tracking audio playback performance and quality metrics

These cookies are set by Pocket FM and by third-party analytics providers, including Google Analytics (Google LLC) and Datadog (Datadog, Inc.) and Mux (Mux, Inc.). Third-party providers may also use data collected through these cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Analytics cookies are typically persistent for up to 13 months. We will seek your consent before placing analytics cookies where required by applicable law.

Advertising / Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests, and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They may track your activity across different websites to build a profile of your interests.

Advertising cookies support the following functions:

• Recognizing your browser across visits to enable targeted advertising and retargeting on third-party platforms
• Attributing ad clicks and conversions to specific campaigns (e.g., tracking when a user arrives via a paid social ad)
• Storing first-party marketing attribution data (e.g., campaign name and referred content) to measure campaign performance

These cookies are set by Pocket FM and by third-party advertising partners, including Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook / Instagram) and TikTok Pte. Ltd. / ByteDance Ltd. Third-party advertising cookies are governed by those companies' own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. Advertising cookies are typically persistent for 30 days to 13 months depending on the cookie. We will seek your consent before placing advertising cookies.

How Do I Manage Cookies and Similar Technologies?

You have several options for controlling cookies:

Cookie Preference Center When you first visit the Site, you will be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category. You can revisit and update your preferences at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the Site footer.

Browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. The steps vary by browser; please refer to your browser's help documentation or visit allaboutcookies.org for guidance on commonly used browsers. Note that disabling cookies through your browser may impair certain Site features.

Third-party opt-outs. For cookies placed by our third-party partners, you may also opt out directly through their platforms or via industry opt-out tools such as the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) opt-out page.
