Cookies Policy for Gloamed Records Effective Date: March 3, 2026

​

Gloamed Records ("we," "us," or "our"), based in Europe, operates the website at gloamed.com (the "Website"), hosted on the Wix platform. This Cookies Policy explains our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Website, in compliance with the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other applicable data protection laws. It complements our Privacy Policy, which provides broader details on our data practices.

By using the Website, you consent to the use of cookies as described herein, subject to your preferences and applicable laws. We aim to ensure transparency regarding these technologies to protect your privacy while enhancing your experience.

  1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies? Cookies are small text files placed on your device (e.g., computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They store information about your browsing activities and preferences, enabling features such as remembering login details or analyzing site usage. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, local storage, and scripts, which serve comparable purposes. These technologies may be session-based (temporary, deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (remaining on your device until expired or deleted, typically for periods ranging from a few minutes to up to 24 months depending on the provider and purpose).

  2. Types of Cookies We Use We categorize cookies based on their purpose and provider. The Website uses the following types:

  • Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the Website's core functionality, such as navigation, security, and access to features like contact forms, account logins (including via email, Google, or Facebook), and embedded content playback (e.g., YouTube videos or Spotify players). They do not require consent under applicable laws but cannot be disabled without impairing site operation. Examples include cookies set by Wix for session management. These are typically session-based or persist for short durations necessary for functionality.

  • Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with the Website, including metrics like page views, time spent, and bounce rates. We use tools such as Google Analytics to improve performance and user experience. These cookies collect anonymized data where possible and typically persist for up to 24 months (e.g., Google Analytics default settings).

  • Marketing and Advertising Cookies: These enable personalized content, such as targeted promotions based on your music interests or browsing behavior. They may be set by third parties like Google (for YouTube embeds), Spotify, Meta/Facebook (including the Facebook Pixel/Meta Pixel for tracking ad performance, conversions, and audience insights), or other services to track interactions and deliver relevant ads across sites. These often persist for 3–24 months or until deleted.

  • Functional Cookies: These enhance usability, such as remembering your preferences (e.g., language or consent settings) or facilitating social sharing and integrations with payment processors like Stripe or PayPal. Durations vary but are generally persistent until expiry or user deletion.

Third-party cookies may be set by services integrated into the Website, including:

The Website also features clickable icons linking to our profiles on Facebook, Twitter (X), Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. These are typically simple hyperlinks that do not set cookies on our Website. However, if any icon incorporates a social plugin or script from the third-party platform (e.g., a share button or Facebook Pixel integration), it may set functional or marketing cookies upon loading or interaction. Upon clicking these icons (or smartlinks from partners like Cygnus Music or Hypeddit), you will be redirected to the external site or tool, where the third-party may set its own cookies or pixels. For details, review the respective privacy policies:

We do not use cookies for profiling that involves sensitive personal data without explicit consent.

  1. How We Use Cookies Cookies are employed for the following purposes:

  • To ensure the Website functions securely and efficiently.

  • To analyze usage patterns and optimize content, such as tracking interactions with embeds, forms, or promotional smartlinks.

  • To provide personalized experiences, including marketing communications aligned with your preferences (e.g., via Facebook Pixel for ad retargeting or performance measurement).

  • To comply with legal requirements, such as maintaining consent records.

Data collected via cookies may be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including sharing with service providers under data protection agreements. Some third-party providers (e.g., Google, Meta, Hypeddit, and potentially Feature.fm via Cygnus partnerships) are located outside the EEA (e.g., in the US). In such cases, international data transfers are safeguarded by appropriate mechanisms, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other approved tools, as outlined in the providers' privacy policies.

Data collected through cookies is retained only as long as necessary for the stated purposes—typically ranging from session duration to 24 months (or shorter where anonymized), depending on the tool and your consent withdrawal or cookie deletion. Exact retention periods are specified in the individual provider policies referenced above.

  1. Managing Your Cookie Preferences You have control over cookies through:

  • Consent Banner: Upon your first visit, a banner allows you to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie settings link on the Website (accessible in the footer or similar location). Withdrawing consent is as easy as granting it—we do not make withdrawal more difficult.

  • Browser Settings: Most browsers permit you to block or delete cookies. Instructions vary by browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari). Note that disabling essential cookies may limit Website functionality.

  • Third-Party Opt-Outs: For analytics and advertising, use tools like Google's opt-out page, Meta's ad preferences/settings, or similar options provided by other providers.

Refusing non-essential cookies does not prevent access to the core Website functionality, though some personalized features or content may be limited. If you are in the European Economic Area, we obtain explicit consent for non-essential cookies in line with the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR.

  1. Changes to This Cookies Policy We may update this policy to reflect changes in our technologies or legal requirements. The revised version will be posted on the Website with the updated effective date. We recommend reviewing it periodically.
