This page explains which cookies and which data saved in your browser Vinyl Snatch (vinylsnatch.com) uses and why.
What we do NOT do

All the cookies we use serve only to make the site work or to remember your preferences. If in the future we add analytics or advertising tools, this page will be updated and you will be asked for explicit consent before those cookies are installed.

Third-party cookies
If you sign in with Google, that service may set its own cookies on its own domain during sign-in — we do not control them directly and they are governed by Google's policy.
Links to shops. When you click a link to a shop (often an affiliate link) you leave vinylsnatch.com and are taken to the website of the shop or of the affiliate network (for example Awin or Amazon). These sites may set their own cookies, also to credit us with a commission on your purchases. They do so after you have left our site, and they are governed by their own policies, which we recommend you read.
The site is delivered through Cloudflare, which today does not set its own cookies on our domain.
How to manage cookies
You can delete or block cookies and data saved in your browser at any time from your browser settings. Keep in mind that blocking vs_session will sign you out of your account.
