Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12 October 2026
This policy explains how CrateFlow Live uses cookies and similar technologies on the listener website. See also our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use localStorage for preferences that are not sent automatically with every request.
How you control cookies
On first visit, a banner lets you reject non-essential cookies, accept all, or manage analytics separately. You can change your choice anytime via Cookie settings in the footer. Rejecting analytics prevents loading Google Analytics scripts; strictly necessary cookies still apply so the player and votes work.
