Privacy Policy | Crainicu

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Crainicu ("I", "me", "my") handles information when you visit this website. My priority is to respect and protect your privacy. This is a personal, non-commercial website and I aim to collect as little data as possible.

1. Data I Do Not Collect

I do not use analytics or advertising, and there are no forms, user accounts, or comment sections on this site. I do not collect or store personal information such as names or email addresses.

The site is hosted on Google Firebase Hosting. Like any web host, it processes your IP address to deliver the pages and may keep short-lived server logs, as described in Firebase's privacy information.

What Is Stored on Your Device

Your choice from the cookie banner (accept or reject), kept in your browser's local storage for 180 days so you are not asked on every visit
A copy of the site's pages and images (browser cache), so the site loads quickly and works offline

Neither is used to identify or track you, and neither is sent to me.

2. Third-Party Services & Cookies

The music on this site is played through embedded players from Spotify and SoundCloud. These are the only parts of the site that set cookies.

SoundCloud & Spotify Embeds

The players are not loaded until you allow them. Until then you see a placeholder, and no connection is made to Spotify or SoundCloud. A player loads only when you:

click Accept on the cookie banner, which allows all players, or
click Load player on a placeholder, which loads that one player

Once a player loads, Spotify or SoundCloud may set cookies and collect data to:

Operate the embedded player
Track playback statistics
Recognize you if you are logged into their service

That collection and use is governed by SoundCloud's and Spotify's privacy policies.

External Links

This site links to third-party platforms including Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Bandcamp, and Mixcloud. Once you leave this site, their own privacy policies apply. I am not responsible for their data practices.

3. Your Consent

On your first visit, the cookie banner asks whether you want to allow the music players. You can Accept or Reject; the rest of the site works the same either way. If you reject, you can still load an individual player by clicking its placeholder.

You can change your choice at any time through Cookie Settings, also linked in the footer of every page. If you switch to Reject, the players are removed from the page and no longer load. Cookies that Spotify or SoundCloud already placed stay in your browser until you delete them in your browser settings.

4. Policy Updates

I reserve the right to update this policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised Effective Date.

5. Contact
