Cookie Policy
We use a small number of essential cookies to run the Service; these do not require your consent. We use analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you agree and, once we show ads, advertising cookies only if you agree. You can change your choice at any time (see “Changing your choice” below).
Essential cookies (always on)
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
MUSICSESSID | Keeps you signed in during your visit (session). | Session |
_csrf | Security — protects forms against cross-site request forgery. | Session |
_musicIdentity | “Remember me” — keeps you logged in between visits (only if you choose it when signing in). | Up to 30 days |
hen_consent | Remembers your cookie choice (so we don’t ask on every visit). | 180 days |
Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
If you accept analytics in the cookie banner, we load Google Analytics (GA4), which sets its own cookies to measure visits and usage. We use Google Consent Mode: analytics and advertising storage are denied by default and only switched on for the categories you accept. GA4 does not log or store full IP addresses. Google may process this data outside the EEA, under the safeguards described in Google’s Privacy Policy.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics — distinguishes visitors and measures usage. | Up to 2 years |
Advertising cookies (only with your consent, when ads are shown)
We plan to show ads through Google AdSense. Advertising cookies and similar technologies will be set only if you accept the “Advertising” category. Before ads go live, we will list the exact cookies and partners here.
Sign in with Google
If you choose “Sign in with Google”, you are sent to Google’s own sign-in page, which may set its own cookies under Google’s policies.
Local storage (not cookies)
We do not use your browser’s local storage or similar technologies for tracking. Your preferences (for example your accent colour) are saved in your account on our server.
Changing your choice
You can accept or decline each category in the banner shown on your first visit. To change your choice at any time, use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. Withdrawing consent removes the Google Analytics cookies from your browser. We ask again after 180 days or when this policy changes materially. We keep a record of your choice and when you made it (in the consent cookie and, if you are signed in, in your account) as proof of consent.
Controlling cookies
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop you from logging in or using parts of the Service.
