Cookie Policy for Crasey Records

This Cookie Policy explains how Crasey Records (“we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on craseyrecords.com (the “Site”), in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, keep items in your shopping basket, and ensure the online store operates smoothly.

2. The Types of Cookies We Use

We maintain a minimal cookie footprint. We do not deploy intrusive third-party cross-site advertising networks or sell your browsing data.

Essential & Functional Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are mandatory for the website to perform basic e-commerce functions. Without them, the online store cannot operate properly:

  • WooCommerce Session Cookies: Keep track of the 7″ vinyl records you add to your shopping basket and maintain your checkout session while navigating between pages.

  • WordPress User & Security Cookies: Maintain your login status and secure admin interactions.

  • Security & Firewall Cookies: Placed by plugins like Wordfence to identify trusted traffic, protect user accounts, and prevent automated brute-force attacks.

Performance & Optimization Cookies

  • LiteSpeed Cache (LSCache): LiteSpeed uses temporary session identifiers to serve optimized, cached pages and WebP images quickly across mobile and desktop devices without storing identifiable personal profiles.

3. Third-Party Cookies & Embedded Services

When you interact with external services linked from our store, those third parties may set their own cookies:

  • Payment Gateways (PayPal & Stripe): When you proceed to checkout, PayPal and Stripe may set fraud-prevention and session cookies to process your debit or credit card securely.

  • Substack / Newsletter Links: If you click through to read The Chronological NOW! Memoir on Substack, your interactions on their domain are governed by Substack’s independent cookie and privacy settings.

4. Managing & Disabling Cookies

You have full control over your cookie settings. You can configure your internet browser to refuse all cookies, alert you when a cookie is being sent, or delete cookies that have already been stored:

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies

  • Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies

  • Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data

  • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions

Please note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies may cause WooCommerce shopping basket functions to fail, preventing you from completing checkout.

5. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally to reflect changes in web technology or relevant UK legal requirements. Any updates will be posted directly to this page.
