This site is run by SMO, a band based in Dublin, Ireland. This page explains what we store on your device and what happens to any personal details you give us. We've kept it in plain English rather than legalese.
We use as little as we can get away with. Nothing that identifies you is stored until you either add something to your basket or buy something.
These are needed for the site to work at all, so they don't require consent.

Local storage | Remembers what's in your basket between pages. Never leaves your browser until you check out. | Until you clear it or complete an order |

Cookie | Remembers the choice you made on the cookie banner, so we stop asking. | 12 months |
If you press Accept All, we load Google Analytics so we can see roughly which pages people read and which shows get clicks. IP addresses are anonymised. If you press Essential Only, it never loads and no analytics cookies are set.
At the time of writing, analytics are not switched on at all — the site is set up to gate them behind consent for when we do turn them on.
Card payments are handled by Stripe on Stripe's own secure page. Your card number is never entered on, sent to, or stored by this website. Stripe sets its own cookies on that page, which are covered by their privacy policy.
You can reopen the cookie banner at any time to change your choice, or clear cookies in your browser settings.
Order details are emailed to the band and kept in a private order log on the server so we can pack and post your order, and sort out any problems afterwards. That's the only thing we use them for. We don't sell your details, we don't share them with advertisers, and we won't add you to a mailing list off the back of an order.
Order records are kept for six years, because Irish tax law requires us to hold on to sales records for that long. Your cookie choice lasts 12 months.
Under GDPR you can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it (where we're not legally required to keep it). Email us and we'll sort it within a month. If you're not happy with how we've handled it, you can complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission.
