Cookie policy

Last updated: August 10, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies are used by https://www.radicalsoundconnection.com/ (the “Site”), for which purposes, and how you can manage your choices. It complements our Privacy Policy and follows the GDPR, the ePrivacy rules and the Guidelines on cookies of the Italian Garante (10 June 2021).

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information. Similar technologies (such as local storage or tracking pixels) serve comparable purposes; in this policy we call all of them “cookies”.

2. How consent works on this Site

On your first visit, a banner lets you accept all, reject all, or customize your choices category by category. Until you give consent, no cookie other than the strictly necessary ones is placed, no analytics runs, and third-party players are not loaded.

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time from the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer of every page. Your choices are stored for 6 months; after that, or if this policy changes substantially, the banner is shown again.

3. Categories of cookies used

3.1 Strictly necessary (no consent required)

Needed for the Site to function and to remember your cookie choices. They contain no tracking.

3.2 Embedded players (consent required)

The Selection page embeds Spotify players. Loading them connects your browser to Spotify’s servers, and Spotify may place its own cookies as an autonomous data controller. On this Site the players are loaded only after your consent to this category; until then you see a placeholder.

3.3 Analytics (consent required)

With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode v2: all storage signals default to “denied” and are updated only after your explicit consent. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. Data may be transferred to the United States under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Google Search Console, which we use to monitor search performance, does not place cookies on your device.
