1What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and provide insights into how the site is used.

2Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the Site to function properly (e.g., enabling navigation, securing forms, and remembering session information). These cannot be disabled without affecting Site functionality.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site (e.g., pages visited, time spent, bounce rates) so we can improve content and user experience.
• Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences (such as language or region) to provide a more personalized experience.
• Marketing/Advertising Cookies: May be used to track browsing behavior across websites to deliver relevant content or measure the effectiveness of our outreach. We do not sell the information collected through these cookies.

3Third-Party Cookies

We may use third-party services (such as website analytics providers, video hosting for our hero video, payment processors, and email marketing tools) that place their own cookies on your device. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

4Your Choices and Opt-Out Rights

Under the CCPA, California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information collected through cookies. WholeStory Speech does not sell your personal information. To manage or disable cookies, you can:

• Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies (instructions vary by browser: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge)
• Use our on-site cookie consent banner (where available) to accept or decline non-essential cookies
• Opt out of interest-based advertising through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org)

5Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry-wide standard for how to respond to DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond to them differently than described in this policy.

6Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13. Our Site and cookies are intended for use by parents, educators, and professionals.

7Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
