Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-07-09
1. What we use, by category
Our consent banner (CookieConsent v3, self-hosted) groups everything into three categories. Here is the complete inventory — cookies and browser storage, because storage deserves the same transparency:
Strictly necessary
Always on. Required for the site and the web player to function.
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| cc_cookie | Cookie (first-party, 6 months) | Stores your consent choice so we do not re-prompt on every page |
| iv_auth | localStorage | Keeps you signed in to the web player |
| iv_player_snapshot | localStorage | Remembers your playback position so the player resumes where you stopped |
| iv_progress_queue | localStorage | Queues listening progress while you are offline, syncs when you reconnect |
| iconicVoicesLeads | localStorage | Fallback copy of a notify-me email you submitted, kept in your browser if the network submission fails |
| ivBannerDismissed | sessionStorage | Remembers that you closed an in-page banner during this visit |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Cookie / script (challenges.cloudflare.com) | Bot protection on the sign-up and password-reset forms only |
Analytics
| Name | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Plausible Analytics | Active (cookieless) | Anonymous aggregate page-view counts. Sets no cookies, stores no personal data, does no cross-site tracking — which is why it runs regardless of the Analytics toggle; the toggle still controls the Consent Mode signal |
Google Analytics 4 (_ga) | Configured, currently disabled | Would load only after Analytics consent, with IP anonymization |
| Microsoft Clarity | Configured, currently disabled | Would load only after Analytics consent |
Marketing
| Name | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
Meta Pixel (_fbp) | Consent-gated; loads only after you grant Marketing | Ad measurement; communicates with connect.facebook.net |
TikTok Pixel (_ttp) | Consent-gated; loads only after you grant Marketing | Ad measurement; communicates with analytics.tiktok.com |
| iv_em | localStorage; written only with Marketing consent | A hashed (never plaintext) copy of an email you submitted, used for ad-platform matching |
2. How consent works, by region
- EEA, UK, and Switzerland: opt-in. Analytics and Marketing are
off until you explicitly enable them. Google Consent Mode v2 signals default
to
deniedbefore any tracker script loads (assets/js/consent-default.jsfires first). - Other regions (including the US): opt-out. The optional categories are on by default, the banner still appears, and you can reject or customize at any time — rejecting takes effect immediately.
Region detection uses your browser timezone; if we cannot tell, we treat you as EEA (the stricter default).
California (CCPA/CPRA): we do not sell personal information. If the consent-gated marketing pixels are active in your region, you can opt out of that sharing at any time — click "Reject all" or toggle Marketing off in the banner's Customize dialog. That is our "Do Not Sell or Share" mechanism; no account or email is needed.
3. How to change your preferences
- Re-open the cookie banner — click the floating preference icon in the lower-left of the landing page. This reopens the Customize dialog and lets you toggle categories per-service.
- Reset entirely — clear cookies and site data for iconicvoices.io in your browser's privacy settings. The banner reappears on your next visit.
- Email us — [email protected] and we will help.
4. Third parties
