Cookie Policy

Last Updated: December 17, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Pylon Publishing LLC, doing business as The Investor’s Podcast Network (“we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our websites, including https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com and any related pages that link to this Cookie Policy (collectively, the “Website”).

It explains:

  • What cookies and similar technologies are;
  • Why we use them; and
  • How you can control their use.

Some of these technologies may involve the processing of personal data. For more information about how we handle personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and support personalization, analytics, and advertising.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pylon Publishing LLC) 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 (for example, embedded videos, analytics tools, and advertising networks). The parties that set these cookies can recognize your device when it visits our Website and when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons:

  • Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies – required for the Website to function and to provide you with services you request (e.g., log-in, security, payment, load balancing).
  • Performance and Analytics Cookies – help us understand how visitors use our Website (e.g., which pages are visited most often, how users move around the site) so we can improve performance and content.
  • Functionality Cookies – allow the Website to remember the choices you make (such as language preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
  • Advertising and Marketing Cookies – used to deliver more relevant ads, measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, and limit how often you see an ad. These may be set by third-party advertising partners or by us and may track your browsing across multiple websites.
  • Social Media and Embedded Content Cookies – used when content from third-party platforms (such as YouTube, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, or other social networks) is embedded on our Website, or when you use “share” buttons.

Some of these cookies are essential for the Website to operate, and others are non-essential and used for analytics, personalization, and advertising.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies We Use

The specific cookies and similar technologies used on our Website can change over time as we update or add services.

To provide accurate, up-to-date information, we describe below the main categories we use and rely on our Cookie Consent Manager to display the current list of individual cookies and trackers used on the Website, along with their purposes and lifetimes.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as:

  • Logging in to secure areas (e.g., member accounts, course access);
  • Maintaining the security and integrity of the Website;
  • Processing payments and preventing fraud; and
  • Managing cookie preferences.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function, you cannot refuse them through our Cookie Consent Manager. You can still block them via your browser settings, but the Website may not function properly.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website so that we can measure and improve its performance. For example, they may:

  • Count page views and traffic sources;
  • Help us understand which pages are most and least popular;
  • See how visitors move around the Website; and
  • Measure how marketing campaigns perform.

These cookies are typically set by analytics providers (for example, web analytics tools) and only used in aggregate form. Where required by law (for example, in the EU/UK), we will only set these cookies after you have given your consent through our Cookie Consent Manager.

3.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember the choices you make (such as language preferences or other customizations) and provide enhanced features. They may also be used to provide services you request, such as playing embedded media or remembering form entries.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to:

  • Show you advertisements that are more relevant to your interests;
  • Limit the number of times you see an advertisement;
  • Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns; and
  • Build a profile of your interests so that we and/or third parties can show you relevant advertising on our Website and on other websites.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners (for example, advertising networks, podcast ad providers, or social media platforms such as Meta/Facebook, Google/YouTube, or LinkedIn). The information collected through these cookies may be used to infer your interests and deliver targeted advertising.

Where required by law, we will only set these cookies after you have given your consent. You can change your preferences at any time using the Cookie Consent Manager.

3.5 Social Media and Embedded Content Cookies

Our Website may include embedded content from third-party platforms (such as YouTube videos, podcast players, social media widgets, or sharing tools). These third parties may set cookies or similar technologies when you view or interact with this content.

These cookies are set directly by the relevant third party, and your use of them is subject to that third party’s privacy and cookie policies. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before these cookies are set.

4. How Can I Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies).

4.1 Cookie Consent Manager

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by using our Cookie Consent Manager, which appears in the cookie banner when you first visit the Website and is available via a persistent link (for example, “Cookie Settings”) on the Website.

Through the Cookie Consent Manager, you can:

  • Accept all cookies;
  • Reject all non-essential cookies; or
  • Choose specific categories of cookies to enable or disable (e.g., Analytics, Advertising).

Please note that strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled in the Cookie Consent Manager because they are required for the Website to function.

If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website, but some functionality and areas of the Website may be limited or not work correctly.

4.2 Browser Controls

You can also set or modify your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. The means by which you can do this vary by browser, so you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information. The links below provide information on managing cookies for commonly used browsers:

4.3 Targeted Advertising and “Do Not Sell or Share” Choices

Many advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of interest-based advertising. To learn more, you can visit:

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights to opt out of certain types of data “sale” or “sharing” for targeted advertising purposes. For more information and to exercise such rights (for example, for California residents), please see our Privacy Policy and any “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” links or settings we make available.

5. Other Tracking Technologies (Web Beacons, Pixels, and Similar)

Cookies are not the only way we recognize or track visitors. We may also use similar technologies, such as:

  • Web Beacons / Tracking Pixels / Clear GIFs – tiny graphics with a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website, opened an email we sent, or interacted with certain content.
  • Local Storage (including HTML5) – used to store information locally on your device (e.g., to remember your preferences).

These technologies often depend on cookies to function properly. If you disable cookies, these technologies may not function correctly or may be limited.

6. Flash Cookies or Local Shared Objects

Our Website does not use Adobe Flash at this time. However, third-party content we embed (for example, legacy video players) could potentially use so-called “Flash cookies” or Local Shared Objects (“LSOs”).

If you want to control Flash cookies, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player using the tools provided by Adobe at:

Please note that restricting Flash cookies may affect the functionality of some Flash-based applications, if any.

7. Do We Serve Targeted Advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies or use similar tracking technologies on your device to deliver advertising through our Website or other sites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements about products and services that may interest you and to measure the effectiveness of their ads.

The information collected through this process is typically pseudonymous. It does not enable them or us to identify you by name directly, unless you choose to provide that information (for example, by creating an account with them).

You can control whether these cookies are set through our Cookie Consent Manager and by using the advertising opt-out tools described above.

8. How Often Will You Update This Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to:

  • The cookies and similar technologies we use;
  • The services we provide; or
  • Legal, regulatory, or technical requirements.

When we update the policy, we will change the “Last Updated” date at the top. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and similar technologies.
