Cookie Policy
Last updated: 6 July 2026
ListenLoop uses a small number of cookies and browser storage items to keep you signed in, remember your lesson progress, and fund the free lessons through advertising. This page lists every cookie we set or load through third-party scripts, what each one is for, how long it lasts, and which ones you can decline.
By using ListenLoop, you accept the use of the cookies listed below as essential. You can accept or decline analytics and advertising cookies using the consent banner shown on your first visit. You can change your decision later by clearing your browser data and revisiting the site, which will show the banner again.
Essential
EssentialAlways active — required for the site to function.

Advertising
AdvertisingFunds the free lessons. Consent is managed by Google's consent message where required.
NID, IDE, ANID, DSID, FLC, AID, TAIDUp to 2 years, depending on the cookie.Provider: Google AdSense / DoubleClick (third-party)
Used by Google to show ads, frequency-cap them, and measure ad performance across sites. Where consent is required (EEA/UK), Google's own consent message governs whether ads are personalized or non-personalized before any advertising cookies are used.
Managing your consent
On your first visit, ListenLoop shows a consent banner with two choices: Accept all or Decline. This banner controls Google Analytics: accepting loads it, declining does not. Either way, the essential storage above continues to function because it is required for the site to work.
Advertising consent is handled separately. In regions where consent is required (such as the EEA and UK), Google shows its own certified consent message before any advertising cookies are used, and you can change that choice through the options Google provides. You can also opt out of personalized ads at any time at Google Ads Settings.
If you want to change your analytics decision later, clear ListenLoop's local storage in your browser (Site Settings → Clear data). The next time you visit, the consent banner will reappear and you can choose again.
