Fragmented Music does not control all cookies independently placed by payment providers on their own websites, applications or payment interfaces.

5.4 Font and content-delivery technologies

The website uses or may use fonts supplied through:

  • Google Fonts; and

When these fonts are loaded from third-party servers, Google or Adobe may receive technical information such as:

  • your IP address;

  • advertising cookies;

  • behavioural advertising cookies;

  • Meta Pixel;

  • TikTok Pixel;

  • Google Analytics; or

  • third-party cookies intended to follow visitors across unrelated websites for advertising purposes.

If advertising or tracking technologies are introduced in the future, this Cookie Statement and the cookie-consent setup will be updated before they are used where required.

7. Squarespace cookies

Fragmentednl.com is hosted by Squarespace.

Squarespace may use cookies for purposes including:

  • website security;

  • session management;

  • shopping-cart functionality;

  • checkout;

  • customer authentication;

  • cookie-preference storage;

  • website analytics;

  • commerce features;

  • fraud prevention; and

  • website performance.

The exact cookies used may depend on:

  • which Squarespace features are active;

  • whether a visitor accepts analytics cookies;

  • whether the visitor uses the shopping cart;

  • whether checkout is opened;

  • the selected payment method;

  • the visitor’s browser;

  • the visitor’s region; and

  • changes made by Squarespace to its platform.

Squarespace may update the names, purposes or duration of its cookies from time to time.

8. Cookie duration

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.

8.1 Session cookies

Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser or when the relevant session ends.

They may be used for:

  • checkout sessions;

  • website security;

  • temporary shopping-cart functions; and

  • navigation between pages.

8.2 Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

They may be used to:

  • remember cookie preferences;

  • recognise returning browsers;

  • measure unique visitors;

  • maintain certain website settings; and

  • support security or fraud prevention.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the settings of the provider that places it.

Squarespace may, for example, use a browser cookie to estimate unique visitors over an extended period. Cookie periods and technical details may change when Squarespace updates its services.

9. Legal basis

Necessary cookies are used where they are required to:

  • operate the website;

  • provide a service requested by you;

  • maintain security;

  • support the shopping cart or checkout; or

  • comply with applicable legal obligations.

Where cookies process personal data, the related legal basis may include:

  • performance of a contract;

  • compliance with a legal obligation; or

  • legitimate interests in securely operating the website and preventing fraud.

Analytics and performance cookies are used based on your consent.

You may refuse or withdraw consent without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

10. Cookie consent

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie banner.

The banner allows you to:

  • accept non-essential cookies;

  • refuse non-essential cookies; or

  • manage your cookie preferences.

Necessary cookies may remain active because the website cannot function properly without them.

Analytics and performance cookies should not be activated until you have provided the relevant consent.

Consent is optional and should not be required to browse the main website or place an order.

11. Changing or withdrawing consent

You may change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.

Depending on the website configuration, you may do this through:

  • the cookie-preference link or button on fragmentednl.com;

  • the cookie banner;

  • your browser settings; or

  • deleting cookies already stored on your device.

Withdrawing consent will not automatically delete all cookies that were previously placed. You may need to remove existing cookies through your browser settings.

After deletion, the website may ask for your cookie preferences again.

12. Managing cookies through your browser

Most browsers allow you to:

  • view stored cookies;

  • delete individual cookies;

  • delete all cookies;

  • block cookies;

  • block third-party cookies;

  • restrict cookies to certain websites; and

  • configure notifications when cookies are placed.

The exact procedure depends on the browser and device you use.

Blocking all cookies may affect:

  • shopping-cart functionality;

  • checkout;

  • payment services;

  • saved preferences;

  • website security; and

  • other essential website functions.

13. Do Not Track and browser signals

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track,” Global Privacy Control or comparable privacy signals.

There is not always a uniform legal or technical standard for responding to every signal.

Where required by applicable law and technically supported by the website or its service providers, relevant privacy signals will be respected.

Visitors can also use the cookie banner and browser settings to control non-essential cookies.

14. International processing

Some cookie and technology providers may process technical information outside the European Economic Area.

This may apply to providers such as:

  • Squarespace;

  • Stripe;

  • Sift;

  • Google;

  • Adobe;

  • Apple; and

  • PayPal.

Where required, international transfers are handled using an applicable legal mechanism, such as:

  • an adequacy decision;

  • Standard Contractual Clauses;

  • another approved safeguard; or

  • a permitted legal exception.

Further information is available in the Fragmented Music Privacy Policy and the privacy documentation of the relevant provider.

15. Detailed cookie list

The cookies active on fragmentednl.com may change depending on the Squarespace features used, consent choices and checkout or payment functions accessed.

The current cookie list may include cookies relating to:

Necessary and functional purposes

  • cookie-consent preferences;

  • website security;

  • session management;

  • shopping-cart contents;

  • checkout;

  • payment processing;

  • fraud prevention;

Analytics and performance purposes

  • visitor identification;

  • unique-visitor measurement;

  • session measurement;

  • traffic-source analysis;

The most accurate technical list of active cookies should be taken from:

  • Squarespace’s current cookie documentation;

  • the website’s cookie-preference panel;

  • the cookies visible in the visitor’s browser; and

  • a current cookie scan of the live website.

Because Squarespace and payment providers may update their technology, cookie names and durations may change without a direct change made by Fragmented Music.

Fragmented Music may update this Cookie Statement when:

  • website functions change;

  • new cookies or services are introduced;

  • existing services are removed;

  • Squarespace changes its platform;
