Privacy at Country Luvin

Warm stories. Clear boundaries.

Cookieless aggregate page views help us understand overall site traffic. Optional measurement follows your region's privacy rules, and every visitor can opt out here.

Cookieless aggregate page views

Vercel Web Analytics counts aggregate page views on public Country Luvin pages without third-party cookies. Aggregate page views continue when optional tracking is rejected. Before each page-view event, Country Luvin removes query strings and fragments and excludes owner, automated-test, and known operator traffic.

Vercel states that these data points are not tied to an individual or stored IP address. Its request-derived visitor hash is automatically discarded after 24 hours and is not used to reconstruct activity across different websites.

What pseudonymous analytics can record

If you allow site analytics, Country Luvin can record a pseudonymous visitor and session ID, campaign source, landing page, pages viewed, scroll and engagement milestones, video-play milestones, story actions, and outbound music-service clicks. Basic device, browser, and operating-system categories may also be included.

With your permission, Country Luvin sends sanitized custom events to Vercel Analytics and a private Country Luvin event backup. We do not load Google Analytics, TikTok Pixel, or other advertising pixels.

Recorded page and destination URLs keep only a public origin and path; query strings and fragments are removed. External referrers keep only their origin, email addresses are removed from email-link destinations, and campaign labels that resemble personal data are discarded.

We do not include names, email addresses, form contents, or payment information in these marketing-event records. Owner, automated-test, and known operator traffic is excluded from campaign reporting.

Meta campaign measurement

Visitors in the EU, EEA, and UK see an opt-in dialog, and Meta Pixel loads only after you explicitly allow Meta campaign measurement. Elsewhere, Meta Pixel runs by default unless you use the persistent opt-out below. It helps Country Luvin understand whether a Meta campaign led to an on-site page view, Spotify click, or audible video play.

The standard Meta Pixel receives the visited page address, including campaign parameters such as UTM values or fbclid. Country Luvin's custom event payloads include only the song slug and, for a video play, its public YouTube video ID. Meta does not receive names, email addresses, form contents, or the full Spotify destination URL from Country Luvin. Meta may process browser, device, network, cookie, and referrer information under its own terms when the Pixel is allowed.

Country Luvin uses two strictly necessary preference cookies, read only on the server: cl_track_consent=1 records EU, EEA, or UK acceptance, and cl_track_optout=1 records an opt-out in any region. Opt-out always wins. No consent state is kept in localStorage or sessionStorage.

Masked session replay

If you separately allow masked session replay, Microsoft Clarity can create heatmaps and visual recordings of interactions on Country Luvin. The entire page is explicitly masked for Clarity. Text, input fields, and drop-down menus are not uploaded as readable content. Advertising storage is denied.

Turning replay off sends Clarity a denied consent signal, erases its cookies through the official consent API, and reloads the page without the replay script.

Where tracking stops

We can record that a pseudonymous visitor clicked an outbound Spotify, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or other music link. We do not track you across Spotify, YouTube, Facebook, or the rest of the internet, and those platforms do not give Country Luvin a person-level record of what you did after the click.

Your tracking control

Optional tracking is currently allowed. You can turn it off persistently below.

This preference persists for up to one year. Clearing the opt-out returns you to the default for your detected region; if your country cannot be resolved, Country Luvin uses the EU opt-in default.

I put out a new song and story most weeks. Leave your email and I'll send you each one — the song, the video, and what it's actually about. Nothing else, ever.
