Cookie Policy

Effective from 3 September 2026. Version 2026-09-03.1.

This policy explains how killandermusicrecords.com uses cookies and similar technologies. Please also read the Privacy Policy, which explains personal data processing and your rights.

What cookies and similar technologies mean

A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser. The website may also use localStorage, sessionStorage, technical network requests, security services and embedded features. Not all of these technologies are cookies in the strict sense, but they are described together because they may store or read information on your device or send technical information to a provider.

Categories

Necessary

Needed for security, form protection, consent management and basic operation. They cannot be disabled through the cookie tool where they are strictly necessary for a service that you request.

Functional

Remember choices or display features not required for the core content, such as language selection and a reviews widget. They are used only after your consent.

Statistics (”Statistik” in the interface)

Help measure usage and improve the website. They are used only after your consent.

Marketing

Used for advertising measurement, audiences, personalisation and newsletter features. They are used only after your consent. A message subscription also requires you to actively subscribe.

Strict basic mode and your choice

The website uses strict Basic Consent Mode. Google Tag Manager and Google tags for statistics or marketing are blocked before the relevant consent and blocked again after consent is withdrawn. Consent to statistics does not enable marketing. The core content and protected contact forms work with necessary technologies only; language memory, reviews, statistics, marketing and MailerLite forms may then be unavailable.

In the first banner, the “Anpassa” (“Customise”) button opens detailed choices. Afterwards you can use the persistent cookie icon, whose accessibility name is “Anpassa cookieinställningar” (“Customise cookie settings”), at any time and change or withdraw your choice as easily as you gave it. The change stops future optional loading in accordance with the new choice. It does not affect processing that was already lawful or data already sent to a provider.

The consent choice remains valid for no more than 365 days. A new choice may be requested earlier if technologies, purposes or the policy version change materially.
