Effective date: 4 October 2025Framework: Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR)

This Cookie Policy explains how LyricLingo.org uses cookies and similar storage technologies in compliance with PECR and the UK GDPR consent standard.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They allow us to recognise your device and store information about your preferences or past actions. Under PECR, cookies and similar technologies are considered “storage and access technologies”.

2. Why We Use Cookies

  • Ensure core functionality — essential cookies are required for security, network management and accessibility.
  • Improve performance — optional analytics cookies help us understand how the site is used.
  • Enhance user experience — functionality cookies remember preferences such as language selection.
  • Third-party services — embedded content (for example video players) may set cookies that require consent.

3. Consent Requirements

Under PECR you must be told about cookies and give consent before non-essential cookies are set. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. On LyricLingo.org we:

  • Display a clear cookie banner on your first visit explaining what cookies we use and why.
  • Let you accept or reject non-essential cookies. Continuing to browse does not constitute consent.
  • Make it as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it through our cookie settings panel.

4. Cookie Categories

  • Strictly necessary cookies — required for the site to operate. No consent is needed, but we still explain their purpose.
  • Analytics cookies — help measure performance. We seek your consent before enabling them.
  • Functionality cookies — remember settings and preferences. We seek your consent before enabling them.
  • Third-party cookies — set by external services to deliver embedded content or advertising. We identify each third party and its purpose.

5. Managing Cookies

You can manage preferences by choosing “Accept” or “Reject” on our cookie banner, or by updating your choices in the cookie settings panel at any time. You can also adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, though blocking all cookies may affect site functionality.
