Essential storage
Some cookies and browser storage support the services you request: signing in through Clerk, protecting sessions, remembering privacy choices, invitation signup and upload recovery. These remain available when you choose essential only. Cloudflare Turnstile can perform anti-abuse checks on protected forms.
Browser storage includes cookies, local storage and session storage. They are different technologies; this page explains the choices together.
- Clerk manages authentication and session cookies while you use your account; their lifetime depends on the sign-in and security settings.
- Your privacy preference is stored locally for up to 180 days.
- Invitation signup can store its invitation token in session storage for the current tab.
- Staff bulk ISRC registration can temporarily keep pending batch metadata and uploaded file paths in session storage to recover an unconfirmed request. It is removed after confirmed registration; ordinary session storage ends when the tab’s session ends.
- Dismissed maintenance messages can be remembered in local storage until the site or your browser clears them.
Release drafts themselves are saved in your account. Browser recovery data should be cleared when using a shared computer.
Visit analytics — optional
We load Vercel Web Analytics only after you allow visit analytics. It measures page usage and basic device information. Vercel describes this service as using request-derived identifiers rather than third-party cookies.
Our analytics filter removes URL query strings and excludes account, admin, invitation and contract pages. Withdrawing analytics consent blocks future events from our analytics integration; it does not erase measurements already sent.
Embedded YouTube videos — optional
YouTube players are not loaded until you allow embedded videos. Once allowed, players load automatically without starting playback. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed domain. Once loaded, YouTube receives connection information, including your IP address and browser information, and may use browser storage.
Turning embedded videos off removes loaded players from this site. It cannot remove data or storage already held by YouTube. You can also listen using an external YouTube link; opening that link takes you to YouTube under its own privacy settings.
Remembering and changing your choice
Your choice is stored under vibevalley-cookie-consent in this browser’s local storage for up to 180 days. We ask again if that choice expires, is cleared, or the consent categories change. It is not an account-wide setting.
Use “Privacy choices” in the footer to accept, reject or change optional categories at any time. Changes also update other open tabs for this site. If browser storage is unavailable, we apply the choice for the current page session and let you know it could not be remembered.
Newsletter signup is a separate choice and is not enabled by accepting cookies or analytics. This site does not configure its own advertising or retargeting pixels.
