Question 1

What is the CastKit Cookie Policy?

Accepted Answer

This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies are placed on your device when you visit castkit.com, why each one is used, how it supports the website, and what choices you have. It applies to all pages on the CastKit website. It does not cover third-party websites that CastKit may link to - those sites govern their own tracking practices.

Question 2

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Accepted Answer

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by a website you visit. It allows the site to remember information across pages or across visits - for example, whether you have already seen a consent notice. Similar technologies include local storage (data held in your browser after you close a tab), session storage (data cleared when a tab closes), and tracking pixels (tiny images that signal when a page or email is opened). CastKit may use any of these methods to support the functions described in this policy.

Question 3

What is the scope of this policy?

Accepted Answer

This policy covers all cookies and similar tracking technologies set on the castkit.com domain, including any subdomains used to deliver the website. It covers both technologies that CastKit sets directly (first-party) and technologies set by verified third-party providers who support website operations. It is reviewed and updated whenever CastKit changes the technologies in use. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Question 4

What cookies and similar technologies does CastKit use?

Accepted Answer

CastKit uses a small set of technologies to keep the website working correctly and to understand how it is used. Strictly necessary cookies keep your session active and remember consent choices - these cannot be switched off. Analytics cookies help CastKit measure page visits, navigation paths, and feature usage so the team can improve the product and content. Any third-party scripts loaded on the site (such as form handling or support tooling) may set their own cookies; those are identified in the provider notices linked in the Third-Party section below. A verified technology table is published in the preference interface - open it at any time using the 'Cookie Preferences' link in the page footer.

Question 5

Are all cookies required?

Accepted Answer

No. Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function - they enable navigation, security features, and consent management. You cannot opt out of these without disabling JavaScript entirely in your browser. Analytics and optional tracking technologies are not required for the site to work. You can accept or decline these using the preference controls described in the 'Your Choices' section.

Question 6

How long do cookies remain active?

Accepted Answer

Duration depends on the type. Session cookies expire when you close your browser tab. Persistent cookies remain until their set expiry date or until you clear them manually. Consent-record cookies typically persist for 12 months so the website can remember your preference without asking again on every visit. The verified technology table in the preference interface lists the specific duration for each technology currently in use on castkit.com.

Question 7

How can I manage my tracking preferences?

Accepted Answer

To review and update your preferences: (1) Scroll to the footer of any castkit.com page and click 'Cookie Preferences'. (2) The preference panel opens and lists each technology category - Strictly Necessary, Analytics, and any additional optional categories. (3) Toggle each optional category on or off using the controls shown. (4) Click 'Save Preferences' to record your choice. Your selection is stored in a consent cookie so the site respects it on future visits from the same browser.

Question 8

Can I change my preferences later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open the 'Cookie Preferences' link in the site footer at any time to reopen the preference panel and update a previous choice. Changes take effect immediately. If you clear your browser cookies, your saved preference will be removed and the site may prompt you again on your next visit.

Question 9

What happens if I disable optional cookies?

Accepted Answer

Declining optional analytics cookies means CastKit will not collect data about how you navigate the site. Core website functionality - including account access, the contact form, and all product information pages - continues to work without optional cookies. Strictly necessary cookies remain active regardless of your preference for optional categories, because the site cannot function without them.

Question 10

Can I control cookies through my browser?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every modern browser provides built-in controls to view, block, or delete cookies. Common paths: Chrome - Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. Firefox - Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. Safari - Preferences > Privacy. Edge - Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies. Note that blocking all cookies in your browser may affect how castkit.com and other websites function, including login sessions and preference memory.

Question 11

How will I know when this policy changes?

Accepted Answer

CastKit updates this page whenever the technologies used on castkit.com change - for example, when a new analytics provider is added or an existing one is removed. The effective date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. If you visit the page regularly, checking that date is the most direct way to see whether anything has changed. For material changes, CastKit may also update the preference interface or notify signed-in users through the platform.

Question 12

How can I contact CastKit with questions about this policy?

Accepted Answer
