Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Melodistra uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more generally.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site's owners. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, perform comparable functions. In this policy, "cookies" refers to all of these.
Why we use cookies
We use a small number of cookies to keep the website working correctly, to remember choices you make, and to understand in a general way how the site is used so we can improve it. We aim to keep our use of cookies modest and proportionate, and we do not use cookies to build detailed profiles of individuals.
Types of cookies we use
The table below describes the main categories of cookies used on this website.
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the website to function, such as page navigation, security and basic preferences. The site cannot work properly without them. | Session or short term |
| Preferences | Remember choices you make, such as display settings, so your experience is consistent across visits. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site, which pages are viewed and where improvements are needed. | Up to 24 months |
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to operate and to keep it secure. Because they are strictly required to provide the site you have asked for, they are always active. Blocking them through your browser may cause parts of the site to stop working as intended.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies allow the site to remember information that changes how it behaves or looks, such as a setting you have selected. They help provide a smoother experience but are not essential for the site to function.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how the website is used, in a way that is intended to be aggregated rather than to identify you personally. This helps us see which content is useful and where the site can be improved. Where required, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential analytics cookies.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use, for example an analytics provider. These third parties process information under their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the policies of any third-party services to understand how they use cookies.
Managing and disabling cookies
You can control and delete cookies in several ways.
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies, and set preferences for certain sites. Check your browser's help section for instructions.
- Consent choices. Where we present cookie choices on the site, you can use them to accept or decline non-essential cookies, and change your selection later.
- Impact of blocking. Disabling some cookies, particularly essential ones, may affect how the website works.
Consent
Where applicable law requires it, we rely on your consent to set non-essential cookies, and you are free to withdraw that consent at any time. Essential cookies are set on the basis that they are necessary to provide the website you have requested.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. The version published here, with the "last updated" date above, is the current version.
