COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: December 2025

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
   Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit our websites. They allow us to recognize your browser, ensure the security of our forms, and integrate media content like music players.

This policy applies to raveenthiran.com, m1o.at, and all associated subdomains (including scouting.m1o.at and music.m1o.at).

2. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

2.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Technical)
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. Without them, certain features (like secure logins or submitting the scouting form) would not work.

• WordPress: Stores session data for logged-in users (e.g., Administrators).
• Security: Cookies that help protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks when you submit data via our forms.

2.2. Functional Cookies
These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username or language) to provide a more personalized experience.

• Forms: If you fill out the booking or scouting form, a temporary cookie may be set to prevent you from having to re-enter data if an error occurs.

2.3. Third-Party & Embedded Content (Important)
Our websites (especially music.m1o.at and m1o.at) feature embedded content from external providers. When you interact with these elements, third-party cookies may be loaded.

• Spotify: Used on our Music page to play audio tracks. Spotify may use cookies to track playback and user interests.
• Instagram: Used to display social feeds.
• YouTube/Vimeo: If video content is displayed, these providers store storage regarding user preferences and playback history.

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please check the respective privacy policies of Spotify, Instagram, or Google for details.

3. ANALYTICS
   We generally minimize the use of tracking pixels. However, our web hosting provider may collect anonymized server log files (IP addresses) for security and error tracking purposes.
4. MANAGING YOUR COOKIE PREFERENCES
   Consent Banner: Upon your first visit, you will see a cookie banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.

Browser Settings: You can block or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of our scouting and booking forms.

5. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
   We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legislation.
