Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how epefe.com (“we,” “our,” or “the site”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. This policy is part of our commitment to being transparent about how we collect and use data. We encourage you to read this policy alongside our Privacy Policy for a full understanding of our data practices.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a site. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide useful information to site owners. Cookies do not typically contain personal information that directly identifies you, but they can be linked to other data we hold about you.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes. Some cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our site. Others help us understand how visitors use our content so we can improve it. We may also use cookies to deliver more relevant content and advertisements. Below is a detailed explanation of the types of cookies we may use.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as remembering your cookie preferences, keeping you logged into your account (if you create one), and ensuring the site displays correctly on your device. Without these cookies, some parts of the site may not work properly. These cookies do not track your activity on other websites.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site. We may use analytics services to collect information about which pages you visit, how long you stay on each page, and what links you click. This data helps us improve our content and user experience. For example, we can see which language exchange conversation guides are most popular and adjust our content strategy accordingly. Analytics cookies collect aggregated, anonymous data and do not identify you personally.
Advertising Cookies
We may use advertising cookies to deliver ads that are more relevant to you and your interests. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners. They may be used to:
- Limit the number of times you see the same ad (frequency capping).
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns (ad measurement).
- Detect and prevent fraudulent ad activity (fraud prevention).
- Show you ads based on your browsing habits and interests (relevant ads).
Advertising cookies may track your activity across different websites and over time. You can control these cookies through your browser settings or through third-party opt-out tools.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages. For example, we may use embedded content from video platforms or social media sharing buttons. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies, and you should check the privacy policies of those third parties for more information. We may also use third-party analytics and advertising services that set cookies as described above.
Web Beacons and Pixel Tags
In addition to cookies, we may use web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) on our site and in our emails. Web beacons are tiny, invisible images that help us track user engagement. For example, we may use pixel tags to understand whether an email was opened or whether a specific page was viewed. Web beacons work together with cookies to provide aggregated usage data. You cannot decline web beacons directly, but you can disable cookies in your browser, which will affect how web beacons function.

You have control over how cookies are stored on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences through their settings. You can typically:
- View which cookies are stored on your device.
- Delete individual or all cookies.
- Block cookies from specific websites or all websites.
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is set.
Please note that if you disable or delete cookies, some features of our site may not function correctly. For example, you may not be able to save your preferences or access certain parts of the site. The method for managing cookies varies by browser. You can usually find instructions in your browser’s help menu.
