This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) explains how Melodream Studios (“Melodream Studios,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our website, services, and platforms. By using the services of Melodream Studios or visiting our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Policy. If you do not agree with the use of cookies as described here, you should disable cookies or refrain from using our website and services.
This Policy provides you with information about what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, and how you can control them.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.
Cookies allow websites to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language preference, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
There are different types of cookies:
- First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by the website you are visiting (in this case, Melodream Studios’ Website).
- Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by a domain other than that of the website you are visiting. This typically happens when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as social media plugins or advertising networks.
- Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are erased when you close your browser. They are typically used to enable website functionality during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a longer period, or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies help websites remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
How We Use Cookies
Melodream Studios uses cookies for various purposes to enhance your experience on our Website, including:
- Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary Cookies): These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website and enable you to navigate our Website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas, placing orders, and using contact forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
- Examples of essential cookies might include cookies that enable session management, shopping cart functionality (if applicable), and security features.
- Analytics Cookies (Performance Cookies): These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, for example, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies help us to improve the way our Website works. The information collected by these cookies is usually aggregated and therefore anonymous. We may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, which use cookies for this purpose.
- Examples of analytics cookies might include cookies used by Google Analytics to track website traffic, page views, user demographics (anonymous), and website navigation patterns.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They can also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
- Examples of functionality cookies might include cookies that remember your language preference, currency preference, or whether you have accepted a cookie consent banner.
- Marketing or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display advertisements that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable to publishers and third-party advertisers. These cookies may be used by third-party advertising networks.
- Examples of marketing/advertising cookies might include cookies used for retargeting ads, tracking ad campaign performance, or serving personalized ads based on browsing history.
