This Cookie Policy explains how Lifespan Podcast LLC (“Lifespan,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit lifespan.com or interact with our website, content, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help websites function efficiently and provide information to website operators.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which expire when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until deleted
We may also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, web beacons, and local storage to understand how users interact with the Services.
How Lifespan Uses Cookies
We use cookies and related technologies to operate, improve, and secure the Services. These technologies help us:
- ensure the website functions properly
- remember user preferences and settings
- maintain secure sessions and account functionality
- analyze usage and performance
- improve content and user experience
- measure engagement with our content and communications
Where required by applicable law (including in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom), we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies, such as analytics or marketing cookies, on your device.
Because Lifespan uses ecommerce and website infrastructure provided by Shopify, certain cookies may be set by Shopify to support storefront functionality, account features, and checkout processes.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Services to function properly. They enable core features such as navigation, account access, security, and checkout functionality. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting how the Services operate.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Services, including pages visited, time spent on pages, and general usage patterns. This information is used to improve performance and user experience and is typically aggregated.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the Services to remember preferences and provide enhanced features, such as saved settings or personalized experiences.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Where applicable, these cookies help measure the effectiveness of communications and deliver more relevant content or advertising based on interactions with the Services. These cookies may be set by Lifespan or by trusted partners.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third-party providers that support our operations, such as ecommerce platforms, analytics providers, communications platforms, and marketing partners. These providers may collect and process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Shopify and Platform Technologies
Our Services are powered in part by Shopify. Shopify may set cookies and collect information about your interactions with the Services, including browsing behavior and transaction-related activity, in order to operate, support, and improve storefront and checkout functionality.
In some cases, Shopify may process personal information under its own privacy policies and legal responsibilities. We encourage you to review Shopify’s privacy policy and related privacy tools to learn more.
Managing Cookies
You can control how cookies are used in several ways:
- adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies
- using any cookie banner or preference management tools available on the Services
- enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in supported browsers
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of the Services.
Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track
Where required by applicable law, Lifespan recognizes Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as requests to opt out of certain data sharing or targeted advertising for the browser or device transmitting the signal.
At this time, the Services do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals except where required by law.
Data Collected Through Cookies
Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may include device identifiers, browsing activity, pages viewed, interaction data, and approximate location derived from IP address. This information may be combined with other information we hold about you as described in our Privacy Policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When updates are made, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above.
