entertainment.fm uses strictly necessary cookies only. We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, preference cookies, or any form of third-party tracking cookies. Every cookie set by this Site serves an essential function required for the Site to operate securely and correctly.

8.2 Cookies We Use

The following cookies and similar technologies are used across the Site, including our community forum:

8.3 Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage for the following strictly necessary purposes:

• Site Integrity Data: A security token stored locally to assist with fraud detection and protect the platform from automated abuse. This data does not identify you personally and is not shared with any third party.

8.5 Legal Basis

All cookies used by entertainment.fm are classified as strictly necessary under the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the requirement to obtain consent, as they are essential for the provision of the service you have requested. Our legal basis for processing this data is legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — specifically, the security and proper functioning of the Site.

8.6 Your Control Over Cookies

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. However, because all cookies used by this Site are strictly necessary, disabling or deleting them may prevent the Site from functioning correctly. Specifically:

• Disabling session cookies will prevent you from logging in or using authenticated features
• Removing security cookies may trigger additional verification steps or temporary access restrictions, as the Site will be unable to distinguish your device from potentially fraudulent traffic
• Deleting the timezone cookie will cause times to be displayed in the server's default timezone rather than yours

For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help documentation or aboutcookies.org.

8.7 Future Changes

If we introduce any non-essential cookies in the future (such as analytics or advertising), we will update this policy and implement a full consent mechanism allowing you to accept or reject those specific cookie categories before they are set. You will be notified of any such changes.

9. Third-Party Services

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites and integrate third-party services (e.g., payment processors, social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
