Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Watch Your Tones uses cookies and similar technologies. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They're widely used to make sites work (or work better), as well as to provide information to the site's owner. "Similar technologies" include local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and SDKs.

How to control cookies
- Cookie banner. On your first visit, our cookie banner (when deployed) lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice later via the "Cookie settings" link in the website footer.
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may break the Service.
- Opt out of Google Analytics. Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Opt out of personalized Meta ads. Adjust your settings at facebook.com/ads/preferences.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC). If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under CCPA / CPRA.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no industry-standard way to interpret DNT, so we do not respond to DNT signals. Use the controls above instead.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel). These are subject to the respective third parties' own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
- Meta Pixel: facebook.com/privacy/policy
Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as we add or remove cookies. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
