What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for a site to work; others, like analytics cookies, need your permission first. This page lists every cookie this site sets, and the one thing it keeps in your browser's local storage, and lets you change your choice.
Your choice
Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them. If you reject them, or change your mind later, any we have set are deleted.
You haven't chosen yet.
Cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies don't need consent — the site can't work without them. Analytics waits for yours. The two functional items hold nothing about you — a date, and whether you closed the sign-up pop-up — and stay on your device.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lasts | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sfr_consent | Southern Fried Records | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we don't ask on every page. | 6 months | Strictly necessary |
| sfr_signup | Southern Fried Records | Remembers that you closed the mailing-list pop-up or joined the list, so it doesn't keep appearing. | 7 days if closed, 6 months if you joined | Functional |
| sfr_last_visit | Southern Fried Records | Local storage, not a cookie: the time of your last visit, so the home page's opening animation plays on your first visit and not every time. It never leaves your browser. | Replaced on each visit; the animation returns after 7 days away | Functional |
| sfr_releases_visit, sfr_artists_visit, sfr_watch_visit | Southern Fried Records | Local storage, not a cookie: the time you last opened the Releases, Artists and Watch pages, so their content fades in one by one on your first visit and simply appears after that. It never leaves your browser. | Replaced on each visit to that page; the animation returns after 7 days away | Functional |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells visits apart, so we can count visitors without knowing who they are. | 2 years | Analytics — only if you accept |
| _ga_0V3YXNB9EX | Google Analytics | Keeps track of the current visit. | 2 years | Analytics — only if you accept |
What doesn't use cookies
- Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights count visits and measure page speed without cookies or any storage on your device.
- YouTube videos use privacy-enhanced mode and set nothing until you press play. Once you do, YouTube may set its own cookies and use local storage under Google's cookie policy.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser's settings: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge. Google also offers a browser add-on that blocks Google Analytics on every site.
