Cookie Policy.

Last updated 10 August 2026

This page covers cookies, local and session storage, pixels, scripts and device signals used across Music Intel's public sites.

01 / Promise

The no-junk promise.

Music Intel and our platforms use storage and access technologies for specific purposes:

  • To remember whether you're logged in (so you don't retype your password on every page).
  • To measure on-page engagement and filter automated traffic, but only after Performance consent.
  • To measure advertising performance, but only after Marketing consent.
  • To remember the cookie preferences you've already chosen.

Music Intel does not sell browsing data. Third-party analytics, advertising and shop providers receive data only in the circumstances described below and apply their own privacy terms.

03 / Control

Managing your preferences.

You can revoke or update your Music Intel consent at any time. Under Essential only, Music Intel does not load Groove, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or a customer-configured TikTok Pixel on the public pages where those technologies are supported. Withdrawing Performance or Marketing consent clears the site-controlled identifiers we can remove and reloads the page so active tracker listeners stop.

The embedded merch shop loads when you open its page and has separate controls supplied by Spreadshop. You can also use the standalone shop and review Spreadshirt's privacy policy.
