Cookie Policy

This website is operated by SEQUENCE PUBLISHING LTD, a company providing remote music assessment and production guidance services.

In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to SEQUENCE PUBLISHING LTD. “You” refers to anyone accessing or using our website.

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your device when you visit it. Similar technologies may store information on your device or access information already stored there.

These technologies can support essential website functions, remember selected preferences or help measure how a website is used. Their operation and purpose depend on the particular technology involved.

Some cookies are temporary and expire when a browsing session ends. Others remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted.

Cookies may be set by our website or by a third-party service used on a particular page or function.

Our website provides information about music assessment and production guidance services, project enquiry functions and online ordering. Depending on the functions enabled, cookies and similar technologies may be used for purposes such as:

• Maintaining essential website functions and supporting secure page or form operation.
• Maintaining session continuity when you use functions that require it.
• Supporting the shopping basket and checkout process when you place an online order.
• Remembering cookie consent choices and preference settings.
• Measuring website performance or visitor activity, where relevant tools are enabled and the required consent has been obtained.
• Supporting third-party content or services where these are included on a page and you choose to use them.

The inclusion of a possible purpose in this policy does not mean that the corresponding technology is currently active. Actual use depends on the website’s configuration and the services enabled at the time of your visit.

Cookies and similar technologies are considered according to their actual purpose. Some may be strictly necessary for a service you have requested. Others may require your consent before they are stored or accessed.

The actual cookies and similar technologies used should be recorded in a current cookie inventory. That inventory should identify their names, providers, purposes, categories and durations, and should be reviewed when website plugins or integrations change.

Where consent is required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies should only be stored or accessed after you have given a valid choice. Simply visiting or continuing to browse the website does not, by itself, constitute consent.

Where a cookie preference tool is provided, it should allow you to:

• Accept or reject non-essential categories.
• Make separate choices for different categories where the tool supports this.
• Change or withdraw your consent after making your initial choice.
• Review information about the purposes covered by your choices.

Strictly necessary technologies may continue to operate where the relevant legal exemption applies. Their presence does not mean that optional categories have also been accepted.

If you withdraw consent, the relevant non-essential technologies should be stopped from operating where technically applicable. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

The available controls depend on the consent management tool actually installed on the website. If you cannot locate the relevant preference control, please contact us using the details in Section 12.

Cookie duration depends on the technology and its purpose. Session cookies generally expire when the relevant browsing session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their configured expiry date or until they are deleted.

We do not apply one universal expiry period to all cookies. The duration of each technology should be recorded in the website’s current cookie inventory.

Information about consent choices may also be retained separately so that the website can recognise and respect your preferences. Such records should be kept only for an appropriate period and for a defined purpose.

Deleting cookies through your browser may remove saved preferences. If you return to the website, you may be asked to make a new choice where required.

Some website functions may rely on services provided by organisations other than SEQUENCE PUBLISHING LTD. Depending on the website configuration, these may include website hosting, form processing, online ordering, payment processing or other technical services.

A third-party service may use its own cookies or similar technologies when its functions are loaded. The information involved, the purpose of use and the retention period depend on the specific service.

Where third-party technologies require consent, they should not be activated before the required permission has been obtained.

We do not identify a particular analytics provider, advertising network or embedded media service as being active unless it has been verified as part of the website’s actual configuration. Where you access an external service, that provider’s own privacy and cookie information may also apply.

Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may sometimes relate to an identifiable person or device. Where it constitutes personal data, we handle it in accordance with applicable data protection law and our Privacy Policy.

Depending on the technology involved, information may include device or browser identifiers, website interaction data, access times or preference choices. The information collected should be appropriate to the relevant purpose.

Cookie information is separate from the music materials you submit for an assessment. Audio files, listening links and project information are handled for the relevant service purpose as explained in our Privacy Policy.

Most web browsers allow you to review, block or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings. The available controls vary by browser, device and version.

You can consult your browser provider’s help information for instructions specific to your browser.

Blocking all cookies may affect website functions that rely on session continuity, saved preferences or an active shopping basket. Browser settings may also not provide a complete way to manage every type of similar technology.

Where non-essential technologies require consent, use the website’s preference tool where available to make or change your choice.

Where cookie-related processing involves your personal data, you may have rights under applicable data protection law. Depending on the circumstances, these may include the right to request access to personal data, correction of inaccurate information, erasure, restriction of processing or to object to certain processing.

The availability of a particular right depends on the legal basis and circumstances of the processing. We will consider requests in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Requests can be sent to enquiries@sequencepublishing.services . We may request reasonable information to verify your identity where necessary.

You may also contact the UK Information Commissioner’s Office for independent information about data protection and electronic privacy: ico.org.uk .

We may update this policy when website functionality, cookie usage, third-party integrations or applicable legal requirements change.

The revised version will be published on this page and will take effect upon publication, unless a different effective date is stated.

Where a change affects the use of technologies requiring consent, the relevant information and preference controls should be updated. New or changed non-essential technologies must not be activated before the required consent has been obtained.

If you have a question about cookies, your preference choices or the technologies used on our website, please contact SEQUENCE PUBLISHING LTD.
