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 files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may store information on your device or access information already stored there. Depending on their purpose, these technologies can help a website operate, remember a choice or measure how a website is used.

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

Cookies may be set directly by our website or by a third-party service that operates on a page or function. Their actual names, providers and lifetimes depend on the technologies enabled on the website at the time of your visit.

Our website supports information about our music assessment and production guidance services, project enquiry forms and, where enabled, online ordering and payment. Cookies and similar technologies may be used for the following purposes, depending on the website configuration.

• To maintain essential website functions and protect forms or other requested features.
• To remember necessary choices during a browsing session or an online order.
• To maintain shopping basket or checkout continuity where the online ordering system requires it.
• To remember your cookie preferences and help ensure that your choice is respected on later visits.
• To understand website performance or visitor activity, but only where relevant tools are enabled and the required permission has been obtained.
• To support embedded or third-party functions if these are added to the website and you choose to use them.

We do not assume that every category listed in this policy is active at all times. The technologies in use must be checked against the website’s current configuration and actual cookie scan results.

We distinguish between cookies that are strictly necessary for a service you request and other categories that may require your permission before they are stored or accessed.

A detailed cookie inventory should identify each cookie or similar technology actually used, its provider, purpose, duration and category. This inventory should be updated when plugins, integrations or website functionality change.

Where consent is required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies should only be activated after you have made a valid choice. Continuing to browse the website is not, by itself, a substitute for the required consent.

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

• Accept or reject non-essential categories.
• Make separate choices for categories where appropriate.
• Change or withdraw your consent after your initial choice.
• Review relevant information about the technologies and purposes covered by your choice.

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active where they qualify for the applicable exemption. Optional categories should not be treated as accepted merely because essential cookies are needed for the website to function.

If you withdraw consent, we will take the appropriate steps to stop the relevant non-essential technologies from operating and to update your preferences. Withdrawal does not make earlier processing unlawful where it was lawful at the time.

The controls available to you depend on the consent management tool actually installed on the website. If a preference control is not visible, please contact us using the details in Section 12.

Cookie duration varies according to its purpose and configuration. Session cookies generally expire when the relevant browsing session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their configured expiry or until they are deleted, subject to the behaviour of the relevant browser and service.

We do not apply one universal expiry period to all cookies. The actual duration for each cookie should be documented in the website’s current cookie inventory. We aim to use retention periods appropriate to the function and avoid keeping information longer than necessary.

Consent records may be retained separately from the cookies themselves so that the website can respect your choice and demonstrate how consent was managed. Such records should be kept only for an appropriate period and for a defined purpose.

Deleting cookies in your browser may remove stored preferences. If you revisit the website, you may be asked to make a new choice where required.

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

A third-party service may use its own cookies or similar technologies when its functions are loaded. The service’s role, information collected and retention practices depend on the specific integration.

Where third-party technologies require consent, they should be blocked until the required choice has been made. Links to an external service may also lead to a separate website with its own privacy and cookie information.

We do not list a particular analytics provider, advertising network or embedded media service here unless it is actually enabled and verified on the website. Please consult the relevant provider’s information where a third-party service is used.

Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may sometimes relate to an identifiable person or device. Where that information is 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, approximate access times or preference choices. We aim to limit collection to what is appropriate for the stated purpose.

Cookie information is not used to assess the creative quality of your music. Any music files or listening links submitted for a requested assessment are handled for the relevant service purpose as described in our Privacy Policy.

Most web browsers provide settings that allow you to review, block or delete cookies. The available controls vary by browser and device.

You can usually find these options in your browser’s privacy, security or site settings. Consult the browser provider’s help information for instructions specific to your version.

Blocking all cookies may affect website functions, including features that rely on session continuity or an active shopping basket. Browser controls also do not always replace a website’s consent mechanism or provide a complete way to manage every similar technology.

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

Where cookie-related processing involves your personal information, you may have data protection rights depending on the circumstances. These can include requesting access to personal information, correcting inaccurate information, requesting erasure where applicable, restricting certain processing or objecting where the relevant legal conditions apply.

Requests can be sent to enquiries@sequencepublishing.services . We may ask for 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 requirements: ico.org.uk .

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

An updated version will be published on this page and will take effect when published, unless a different effective date is stated.

If a change affects the purposes for which consent is required, we will update the relevant information and obtain a new choice where required before activating the affected technologies.

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