What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. They're used to remember settings, authenticate users and gather statistics. The same applies to related technologies like localStorage and sessionStorage.
What we use — and don't use
SlowBlues.com uses as little as possible:
- slowblues-lang (localStorage) — remembers your language choice (no/en/sv/de/pl). Strictly necessary.
- admin_session (HttpOnly-cookie) — only for logged-in admin users, to keep you signed in.
- Anonymized visit statistics — no identifying cookies, no profiling.
We use no marketing cookies, no third-party tracking, no Facebook pixel, and no Google Analytics that identifies individuals.
Third-party content
When you play YouTube videos or open external links, those third parties may set their own cookies. We embed YouTube in "privacy-enhanced" mode wherever technically possible.
How to manage cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking slowblues-lang simply means your language choice will reset on your next visit.
Consent
Because we only use strictly necessary cookies and preference cookies you set yourself (by switching language or logging in), active cookie consent is not required under the ePrivacy Directive. We've nonetheless built in technical support for a consent banner in case we introduce optional cookies later.
