Last Updated: January 15, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how WaveCast ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website.
The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. | Session / Persistent |
| Performance Cookies | These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. | Up to 2 years |
| Functionality Cookies | These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. | Up to 1 year |

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the cookie banner or by modifying your web browser controls.
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. The way to manage cookies varies by browser, and you can find instructions in your browser's help menu:
Various third parties provide browser plug-ins and apps that can help provide you with information on and limit or block third-party cookies, web beacons, and some JavaScript-based technologies. We cannot vouch for the efficacy of a particular third-party product, but popular ones include:
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage to operate our website.
Web beacons (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our website to deliver or communicate with cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness, and determine whether an email has been opened and acted upon.
We may use Local Storage (LS) such as HTML5 storage to store content information and preferences. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 LS.
In our mobile applications, we may use software development kits (SDKs) which are code that sends data about your use of the app to a server for analysis.
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals because no uniform standard for responding to such signals has been developed.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our operations. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our cookie practices. Where changes are significant, we may choose to inform users through additional means, such as email or a notification on our website.
