# How does Episodes.fm use cookies?

### Setting a preferred podcast app

When a visitor taps a podcast app, we set a cookie to remember that preference. On subsequent visits from that browser, the visitor will skip the landing page and be redirected straight to their preferred podcast app.

### Setting no preferred podcast app

If you’d prefer to not be redirected on subsequent visits, please locate the banner at the bottom of the interstitial page labeled **Ask which app to use every time** and turn on that toggle. 

On mobile, some of our preferred podcast platforms don’t open natives apps but instead redirect to a web page before the visitor can interact with the interstitial page. We’re exploring better ways to handle this edge case, but for now, we recommend clearing your browser cookies.
