This Cookies Policy explains how Findnoise ("we," "us," or "our") addresses cookies and similar technologies on https://findnoise.net/.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or browser-based identifiers that websites and third-party services may use for advertising, consent choices, security, media playback, and other service-related functions.
2. Technologies Used in Connection With Findnoise
Findnoise does not require visitors to create an account or log in to browse public content. Cookies or similar technologies may still be used in connection with:
- Google AdSense advertising: ad serving, personalization or non-personalized delivery where applicable, frequency control, reporting, fraud prevention, and invalid-traffic protection.
- Consent tools: where required by region or law, a consent message or related choice tool may store or remember advertising preferences.
- YouTube embedded players: sound pages use the standard
youtube.comembed domain, and the player is embedded directly on the watch page. - Site delivery and security: hosting, delivery, or security infrastructure may process technical information needed to operate and protect the website.
3. Google AdSense Advertising Cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to Findnoise and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Users may also learn more about opting out of certain third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at AboutAds.info.
For more information about how Google uses data from sites and apps that use Google services, visit How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.
4. Standard YouTube Video Players
Findnoise sound pages use standard YouTube embeds from the youtube.com domain. The player is embedded directly on each watch page so the video is available as part of the main content. After the player is loaded or used, YouTube and Google may process information, use cookies or similar technologies, and apply their own policies and the applicable player settings.
If a visitor clicks out from the embedded player to YouTube or another Google service, the destination service's own privacy and cookie practices apply.
5. Personalized and Non-Personalized Ads
Ads may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your location, consent choices, browser settings, and applicable legal requirements. Even non-personalized ads may use limited cookies or storage for purposes such as fraud prevention, frequency control, and reporting where permitted.
6. Consent for EEA, UK, and Switzerland Users
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may be shown a consent message or similar choice tool where required before certain advertising cookies or related storage technologies are used.
7. Managing Cookies and Media Choices
You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings, use consent tools shown on the website where applicable, and review personalized advertising controls through Google Ads Settings. You can also choose not to interact with embedded YouTube players.
8. Relationship to Our Privacy Policy
This Cookies Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how information may be handled on this website.
9. Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. Any revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date.

Cookie categories on Findnoise
Cookies and similar technologies connected to Findnoise may fall into several practical categories. Some technologies support basic site delivery and security. Some may support advertising, measurement, fraud prevention, frequency capping, or ad personalization. Others may be loaded by embedded YouTube players when visitors open or use sound pages.
Findnoise itself is a static public website, but third-party services can still use cookies or similar technologies when their scripts, ads, or embedded players are loaded. This is why the Cookies Policy explains Google AdSense and YouTube separately.
Google AdSense cookies
If Google AdSense is active on the site, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, and browser information to serve ads, measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, detect invalid traffic, and support advertising systems.
Advertising may be personalized or non-personalized depending on the visitor’s region, consent choices, browser settings, Google settings, and applicable law. Visitors can manage advertising settings through Google tools and through any consent or privacy message shown where required.
YouTube embedded player cookies
Findnoise sound pages use standard YouTube embedded players. YouTube and Google may set or read cookies and similar technologies when the player loads or when a visitor interacts with it. These technologies are controlled by YouTube and Google rather than by Findnoise directly.
Because YouTube is part of the listening experience on sound pages, Findnoise explains this clearly instead of claiming that no third-party player technology is used. Visitors who prefer to use YouTube directly can access the official Findnoise channel through the public channel links.
Regional consent tools
Where required, visitors may see privacy or consent messages for advertising cookies, local storage, personal data use, or sale/share opt-out rights. The exact message may depend on region, device, browser, and Google’s available consent tools.
Changing browser settings, rejecting optional cookies where a consent tool is available, or adjusting Google advertising preferences may affect ad personalization or embedded service behavior. Some basic site functions may still work because Findnoise public pages are designed to remain accessible without account creation.
