This Cookie Policy explains how Caledonia TX Ltd trading as ROCK.SCOT uses cookies and similar technologies (localStorage and sessionStorage) on our website, in compliance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. We also use browser localStorage and sessionStorage, which work similarly but are only readable by our own site. This policy covers all of these.
Essential for the site to function — exempt from consent under PECR:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| rsCookieConsent | localStorage | Stores your cookie consent choice | Until you clear browser storage or reset your choice |
| Stream player state | sessionStorage | Keeps the live player working during your visit | Current session |
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| rs_vid | localStorage | First-party visitor identifier — used for both site analytics and measuring sponsor banner impressions/clicks | Until you clear browser storage or withdraw consent |
| rs_sid | sessionStorage | First-party session identifier | Current session |
| _ga | Cookie | Google Analytics — distinguishes visitors | 2 years (Google's cookie lifetime; we retain analytics data for 13 months) |
| _ga_* | Cookie | Google Analytics — session state | 2 years |
What we track (with consent): pages visited, referrer, device type, general location (country/region only, derived by Google Analytics), and which sponsor banners are shown or clicked. Sponsors only ever receive aggregate counts — never your visitor identifier or any other visitor-level data.
What we don't track: your identity, specific songs you listen to, or your browsing outside our site.
Strictly necessary storage: exempt from consent under PECR Regulation 6(4) — required to provide the service you requested.
Analytics: Consent (PECR Regulation 6(1)). Nothing non-essential is set until you explicitly accept.
On your first visit a consent banner lets you Accept or Reject analytics. You can change your mind at any time:
You can also control cookies in your browser:
Note: blocking all cookies and storage may stop parts of the site working, including remembering your consent choice.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Our first-party analytics honour the DNT browser signal and will not run if DNT is enabled, regardless of your consent choice. Google Analytics does not respond to DNT — it is governed solely by your consent choice in our banner, and is never loaded unless you accept.
Our services are not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
We may update this policy to reflect changes in technology or regulation. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
