Cookie Policy

Last updated: 31 October 2026

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that websites can store on your device. They are commonly used to make websites work properly, remember preferences, support features and understand how a website is being used.

The same principles can also apply to similar technologies that store or access information on your device.

How The Arpa Protocol uses cookies

The Arpa Protocol uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, provide music and shopping features, remember cookie preferences and, where you have given permission, understand how visitors use the site.

We use two main categories of cookies and similar technologies:

Essential website functionality

The website is hosted by Bandzoogle, which provides features including forms, music players, shopping and other services.

Some cookies or similar technologies may be necessary to provide these features.

Bandzoogle's Basic Site Reporting is also enabled. This provides basic information about website activity, which may include visits, pages viewed, broad geographical information, music plays and other activity relating to the website.

Optional analytics

With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4, a website analytics service provided by Google.

Google Analytics helps us understand:

How visitors discover the website.

Which pages are visited.

How visitors navigate and interact with the website.

Broad geographical and technical information about visits.

How people engage with the website over time.

This information helps us understand what is useful to visitors and how we might improve the website.

Google Analytics may collect information including online identifiers, browser and device information, interactions with the website and approximate location information.

We do not use Google Analytics to identify visitors by name, and we do not intentionally send names, email addresses or payment information to Google Analytics.

We do not use Meta Pixel or Google Analytics advertising personalisation features on this website.

Google Analytics cookies

If you accept optional analytics, Google Analytics may use the following cookies:

Actual cookie lifetimes may be shorter depending on your browser settings and privacy protections.

Google Analytics is not loaded by our custom consent system unless you accept optional analytics cookies.

Your cookie choices

When you first visit The Arpa Protocol, you are offered a choice to:

Accept analytics, allowing Google Analytics to operate.

Reject optional, preventing our Google Analytics tracking from loading.

Rejecting optional analytics does not prevent you from browsing the website, listening to music or using its normal features.

Your choice is stored in your browser for up to 180 days, unless you clear your browser storage or change your preference.

You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings control on the website.

If you withdraw consent, Google Analytics will no longer be loaded on subsequent page views by our consent system. We also attempt to remove the standard Google Analytics cookies previously set on your device.

Withdrawing consent does not retrospectively erase information already collected. You can contact us if you wish to exercise your data protection rights.

Third-party services

Some pages contain or link to services operated by other companies. These may include:

YouTube, where videos are embedded on the website.

Stripe, where it is used to process payments.

Music streaming services and Elastic Stage, which may be linked to from the website.

These services may use their own cookies or similar technologies when you interact with them.

Their use of cookies and personal information is governed by their respective privacy policies. Embedded services may also load technologies when a page is opened, depending on how they are configured.

Managing cookies through your browser

You can also control or delete cookies through your web browser's privacy settings.

Please be aware that blocking certain essential cookies may affect the operation of some website features.
