How do we use cookies?
Where we use cookies to provide, evaluate and improve the Platform in various ways, the cookies we employ generally fall into one of the following categories:
Strictly Necessary (Operational) Cookies – These cookies are necessary for the operation of the website and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually only installed in response to actions you take, which amounts to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can configure your browser to block or alert you to these cookies, but some parts of the site will no longer work. These cookies do not store personal information. Cookies necessary to keep the Platform secure and free from abuse are also considered strictly necessary. These cookies enable and support our security features, and help us detect malicious or unauthorized activity. We also use cookies to combat fraud and other activities that violate our policies or otherwise impair our ability to provide the Platform. Cookies also help us combat spam and phishing attacks by allowing us to identify computers or devices used to create large numbers of fake SoundCloud accounts. These cookies ensure the normal functioning of our services and are therefore strictly necessary. We use these cookies for a legitimate interest.
Performance cookies – These cookies allow us to count traffic sources and unique visits in order to measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular, and how visitors move around the site. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you visited our site, as all information collected regarding your behavior on Izysounds will be anonymous.
Functional cookies – These cookies are used to improve the functioning and personalization of the website. They may be installed by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. For example, when you use or return to the Platform, we will recognize your username and remember your settings and content preferences. Deleting, blocking or disabling this type of cookie will limit the functionality of the Platform.
Targeting cookies (personalization/advertising) – These cookies may be set by our advertising partners through our site. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. They do not directly store any personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, the ads you see will be less personalized.
Communication cookies – These cookies allow us to provide you with news, advice and personalized offers regarding Izysounds products based on your use of our Platform. If you disable this setting, the communications you see may be less relevant.
Additional cookies for registered users – For registered users, we employ additional advertising services which are also cookie-based. You will be asked to choose to allow or decline cookies from our advertising partners. Some of these cookies, although called "advertising cookies", may be used without your consent, as they are necessary for the security of your data and our services, or are used to provide certain functions and analyzes of the Izysounds service.
