3. Third-Party Cookies
Some of our features embed content or connect to third-party services that may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. Third parties include:
- AWS (Amazon Web Services) — secure audio file delivery and storage

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties.
4. How to Control Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent the Platform from functioning correctly (for example, you will not be able to stay logged in).
Do Not Track: Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" signal. We currently do not respond to this signal, but we will revisit this as industry standards develop.
