5 – How we use cookies and technology
Jwompa uses cookies and related technology to enhance the Platform, provide you with a consistent experience, record login, and registration information. You may refuse to accept cookies from the Jwompa and/or the Platform by declining the In-App/Desktop Notification policy that appeared to you the first time you viewed Jwompa’s App and/or Desktop Platform(s).

A cookie is a small file placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website that helps our site and our 3rd party data partners recognize your device the next time you visit the site. Cookies are essential for many simple functions such as recognizing a repeat visitor as logged in and providing access to your account, favorites, playlists, and profiles. Jwompa utilizes two common types of cookies – session-based cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay active until deleted or deactivate after a set period). Other technologies include pixel tags (transparent images which help us determine if a page or email has been viewed by a user), web beacons (also known as web bugs, which serve a similar function to pixel tags), and web storage. Additionally, mobile users may be tracked using Device ID and/or hashed data to identify repeat mobile usage. These combined technologies are used both by Jwompa and our 3rd party partners to ensure essential Platform functionality; target, serve, measure, and track optimization, and performance; measure Platform analytics and usage; and to measure user and audience behavior, trends, demographics, and location.
Jwompa does not currently respond to or acknowledge Do Not Track (DNT) requests.
