COOKIE POLICY
At LoungeMusic.co.uk (provided by Loungest Limited), we respect your privacy and are committed to transparency. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and local storage to run our web player, remember your preferences, and analyze our traffic.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. Local storage is a standard web technology that allows us to store preferences directly in your browser. Both help make your browsing experience smoother, faster, and more personalized.
2. How We Use Cookies and Storage
We only use cookies and local storage where necessary to provide our audio stream, remember your settings, or analyze overall website usage. We do not use third-party behavioral advertising cookies.
3. Third-Party Audio Player
Our audio player is delivered via an embedded frame hosted on Cloudflare Workers, a third-party infrastructure provider, and is not served directly from loungemusic.co.uk. When you load our website or press play, your browser makes a connection to this player service and, in turn, to the third-party servers that host the audio files. These connections necessarily transmit your IP address to those third parties in order to deliver the stream, in the same way any audio or video streaming service works.
The player frame may set its own cookies or local storage (for example, to remember your volume level) within its own domain, separate from loungemusic.co.uk. These are not accessible to, or set by, loungemusic.co.uk directly, and are not used for advertising or tracking purposes, only to operate playback.
4. Third-Party Contact Form
Our contact form is an embedded frame hosted by TapTheNfc.com, a third-party form provider, and is not served directly from loungemusic.co.uk. TapTheNfc.com may set its own cookies or local storage within that frame to operate the form; these are governed by TapTheNfc.com's own cookie and privacy policies, not this one, and are not accessible to loungemusic.co.uk.
5. Cookies and Storage We Set
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| rdp_volume | Essential (Local Storage, set within the embedded player frame, see Section 3) | Saves your preferred audio player volume level so it persists between visits. | Persistent |
| loungemusic-a11y-settings | Essential (Local Storage) | Saves your custom options in the accessibility toolkit (e.g. text size, high contrast). | Persistent |
| loungemusic_cookie_consent | Essential (Local Storage) | Stores your cookie preferences and consent choice to prevent the banner from showing again. | Persistent |
| _ga, _gid | Analytics (Cookies) | Set by Google Analytics to help us count visitor numbers and traffic sources in an anonymous way. | Up to 2 years |
6. Managing Your Preferences
Analytics is switched off until you turn it on. Nothing is requested from Google while it is off.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Cookie preferences link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent stops further collection immediately and clears the Google Analytics cookies already on your device.
Your choice is stored locally as a small record containing the categories you allowed, the date you chose, and a version number. We ask again if that record is more than twelve months old, or if we change what we use cookies for. You can also clear your browser storage or change your browser settings at any time to block or delete cookies.
