Cookie Policy Overview
Effective Date
This Cookie Policy is effective as of February 24, 2023. We may amend this Cookie Policy from time to time, and changes will be posted on this web page with the effective date noted here.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically. If we make significant changes to this Cookie Policy, we will place a prominent notice on this web page for a reasonable period of time afterwards, so that it will be easier for you to see that changes have been made.
Summary
This Cookie Policy applies to cookies and any tracking tools that Episode Six, Inc., or its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “E6”), use when you visit our public website at episodesix.com or our customer documentation web portal on an episodesix.com subdomain (collectively, the “Websites”). In this policy, we explain how and why we use cookies and other tracking tools, and provide information about third parties which place cookies via our Websites.
For cookies which are not necessary for the provision of our Websites and services, we provide the option to decline all non-essential cookies by clicking “Decline non-essential cookies” on our Websites’ cookie banner. If you would like to change your cookie settings for our Websites, please click the Cookie Settings button.
For more details about how we process your personal information, including any personally identifiable information that may arise from our use of cookies or other tracking tools, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device by your web browser. Each cookie contains an identifier (that is, a series of letters and numbers) that is sent back to the relevant web server by your browser each time your browser requests a page from that server.
Information provided by cookies can help us to improve your experience using our Websites by remembering your preferences. Cookies allow us to recognize your device and browser so that we can associate them with your previous activity on our Websites, including settings you have selected.
Data obtained from cookies may be linked with personal information that we hold about you without storing any personally identifying information in the cookie itself. One way this happens is when you visit our Website by following a link in a marketing email we have sent to you and also consent to non-essential cookies. When you have previously consented on a third-party website to cookies on your device from one of our advertising or technology partners that allow them to link your activity to their profile of you, we may receive additional information from them that links your identity to activity on our Website. This is possible through third-party cookies from our partner which may be set if you consent to non-essential cookies on our Website. Please view the What cookies do we use? section of our Privacy Policy for more information about which third-party cookies our Websites use.
Types of cookies
Essential vs. non-essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the Website to function as intended (for example, to record your preferences selected on the cookie banner, to keep you logged in during a browser session, or to enable navigation to work properly). You cannot opt out of essential cookies, but you can delete them from your device later, or your browser may allow you to block them altogether. Please note that if you block all cookies, some aspects of the Websites may not function exactly as intended.
Non-essential cookies enable functions that are not necessary for the Website to function properly. Examples are generating statistical data about how a website is used, tracking your visits to different web pages, associating your browsing activity with your user profile on a third-party site, enabling targeted or personalized ads, or enabling personalized website features. You can choose to opt out of or block non-essential cookies, and you can also delete them from your device later if you choose to opt in.
Session cookies vs. persistent cookies
Cookies can typically be either session cookies, which are set to be stored on your device only until you close the web page in your browser; or persistent cookies, which are set to be stored on your device until their expiry date, unless you delete them from your device before then. Some temporary cookies may have expiry periods as short as one minute which are not dependent on when you close your browser session.
First-party vs. third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by our Website or by subdomains of our Website. Third-party cookies are set by third-party websites not managed by us, such as our advertising or technology partners.
Cookies from external websites
Please note that, when you follow a link from our Websites that takes you to a website on a different domain that is not episodesix.com, we may not be able to control the cookies that are placed by that third-party website.
