GDPR Compliance
Voice XO complies with GDPR cookie consent requirements:
- Granular Consent: You can accept/reject specific cookie categories
- Explicit Opt-In: Cookie categories are controlled clearly: analytics is on by default and can be switched off anytime, while other optional categories require consent.
- Easy Opt-Out: You can withdraw consent anytime via cookie banner or settings
- Clear Information: We explain what each cookie does and how long it lasts
- Consent Records: We store your cookie preferences and consent timestamp

Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Currently, there is no industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals. Voice XO respects your cookie preferences set via our cookie banner, which provides more granular control than DNT.
