Privacy & Cookie Notice

This page explains what data this site uses, where cookies come from, and how you can control them. This is a hobby / indie project; only minimal data is processed to make core features (cart, admin login, audio playback) work.

1. What We Collect

• Session state: A signed session cookie maintains your cart items and (if logged in) admin authentication.
• Cart contents: Stored inside the session (not a separate persistent database of user identities).
• Audio playback preference: Local storage key radio.vol remembers the radio player volume.
• Server logs: Standard web server / application logs (IP, user-agent, timestamps, requested paths, errors) used for debugging and security.

2. Cookies & Local Storage

Name / Key	Type	Purpose	Retention
session	Cookie (first‑party)	Maintains cart items, admin login, flash messages (essential).	Expires per session / configured lifetime.
radio.vol	LocalStorage	Stores preferred audio volume (essential UX).	Until manually cleared.
3rd‑party media cookies	Cookies (third‑party)	Set by embedded YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp players for playback, analytics, personalization.	Controlled by those services.

3. Third‑Party Services

Embedded players load resources from the respective platforms. Their privacy policies apply:

• YouTube / Google: Privacy Policy (consider youtube-nocookie.com if stricter consent is needed).
• SoundCloud: Privacy Policy.
• Bandcamp: Privacy Policy.

4. Legal Basis (If in EU/UK)

Essential cookies (session, functional volume preference) are necessary for providing the service you request. Non‑essential third‑party cookies (tracking / personalization by embeds) ideally require consent. If you need strict compliance, enable the consent gate and block embeds until accepted.

5. Your Controls

• Clear cookies & local storage via your browser settings.
• Use content blockers or privacy extensions to restrict third‑party embeds.
• If a consent banner is enabled here, you can revisit choices via the “Cookie Settings” button (added when the banner is active).
