Cookie Policy
What cookies Musical Nexus uses and how you can manage them.
Last updated: April 23, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Musical Nexus uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the Site. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device to remember information about your visit. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and browser-based databases (IndexedDB). For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.
How We Use Cookies
Strictly necessary
- Session and authentication. To keep you signed in and to protect against cross-site request forgery.
- Security. To detect abusive behaviour and enforce rate limits.
These cookies are required for the Site to function. Disabling them will prevent you from signing in or submitting content.
Functional
- Preferences. To remember your theme choice, measure-number sidebar setting, and similar preferences across visits.
- Content caching. To store soundfont and audio data locally so songs load faster on repeat visits.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how users interact with the Site in aggregate (for example, which pages are popular). Where these tools rely on cookies, the data is processed in a way that does not identify you individually.
Third-Party Cookies
Some features may load resources from third parties (for example, an embedded YouTube preview). Those third parties may set their own cookies, which are governed by their privacy policies. We do not control these cookies.
Managing Cookies
Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies through their settings. You can also clear local storage and IndexedDB for a site. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the Site from working. For more information on managing cookies in your browser, see the help section of your browser’s documentation.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no consistent industry standard for how to interpret these signals, the Site does not currently respond to them differently. You can still manage tracking through the controls described above.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above.
Contact
If you have questions about our use of cookies, please contact the site administrators using the contact method listed on the Site.
