2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including making a website work correctly, remembering preferences and helping website operators understand how their websites are used.

We also use similar browser technologies, such as local storage. Local storage allows a website to save information on your device without using a traditional cookie.

In this policy, references to "cookies" may include similar storage technologies where appropriate.

3. How we use cookies

The K107 website uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for particular website functions to work properly, such as keeping a user signed in where an account or Listener Club feature is provided.

These cookies do not require your consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested.

Preference and functionality storage

These technologies remember choices that you make, such as your audio-player volume or, where applicable, your preferred station, location or language.

Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect statistical information about how our website is used.

This helps us understand matters such as:

how many people visit the website;
which pages are viewed;
how visitors move around the website;
approximately how long visitors spend on pages;
which types of device and browser are being used;
how visitors arrived at the website; and
how we can improve the website and its content.

We do not use Google Analytics for the purpose of making decisions about individual website visitors.

4. Cookies and storage used by the Aiir platform

Our website is built and hosted using the Aiir content management platform.

Aiir's website platform uses a limited number of cookies and browser-storage technologies. Which of these are used depends on the features enabled on our website.

Aiir platform technologies

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
`club_s`	Cookie	Used where the Aiir Listener Club is enabled. It identifies a logged-in user's session so that the website can display information associated with their account.	Session-based
`loc_pref`	Cookie	Used where location, preferred station or language functionality is enabled. It stores the visitor's selected preference.	Persistent until it expires or is removed
`player_volume`	Browser local storage	Used by the Aiir audio player to remember the volume level selected by a visitor so that the same preference can be restored when the player is next opened.	Remains until the value is changed or the browser's site data is cleared

Not every visitor will receive all of these.

For example, club_s will only be relevant where the Listener Club functionality is being used, and loc_pref will only be used where the relevant preference functionality is enabled.

The player_volume item is technically browser local storage rather than a cookie, but we disclose it here because it stores information on your device in a similar way.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, a website analytics service provided by Google.

Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors interact with the K107 website and provides us with statistical reports which we can use to improve the website.

Google Analytics may process information including:

pages visited;
approximate time and duration of visits;
website interactions;
referring websites or sources;
browser and device information;
operating system information;
approximate geographic information; and
identifiers used to distinguish website users and sessions.

Google Analytics uses first-party cookies on our website.

Google Analytics cookies

Name	Provider	Purpose	Default duration
`_ga`	Google Analytics	Used to distinguish website users for analytics purposes.	Up to 2 years
`_ga_<measurement-id>`	Google Analytics	Used to maintain and persist information about a visitor's session. The final part of the cookie name varies according to our Google Analytics configuration.	Up to 2 years

The actual lifetime of a cookie may be affected by your browser settings and browser-imposed restrictions.

Information collected through Google Analytics is processed in accordance with Google's applicable privacy and data-protection terms.

6. Our use of analytics

We use analytics information to understand the overall use and performance of our website and to help us improve K107's online services and content.

Our intention is to use Google Analytics for statistical website measurement rather than advertising, behavioural advertising or cross-site profiling.

We do not use Google Analytics cookies to serve you personalised advertisements on the K107 website.

Where analytics cookies or related technologies require your permission, they will only be used in accordance with the preference you make through our cookie controls.

You can use the website without enabling optional analytics cookies.

7. Cookie preferences

When you visit our website, you may be provided with cookie controls allowing you to manage the use of optional cookies and similar technologies.

You can choose whether analytics cookies are permitted.

Cookies which are strictly necessary to provide a website feature you have requested cannot normally be disabled through these controls because the relevant feature would not work without them.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings or equivalent option provided on our website.

Changing your preference will apply to future use of the relevant technologies. Cookies which have already been stored on your device may also be removed manually through your browser settings.

8. Google Analytics opt-out

In addition to the controls available on our website, Google provides tools and information allowing users to control the collection of information by Google Analytics.

You can also configure your web browser to block or delete cookies.

Blocking Google Analytics cookies will not prevent you from using the K107 website or listening to K107 through website features that do not depend on those cookies.

9. Embedded and third-party content

Some pages on our website may include content or functionality supplied by another organisation.

Examples may include:

embedded audio or media;
videos;
maps;
social-media content;
advertising;
donation or payment services; and
other externally provided website features.

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

Where appropriate, non-essential third-party technologies will be controlled through our cookie-management arrangements.

Third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

Because the content and services available on the K107 website may change from time to time, the particular third-party technologies used may also change.

10. Audio player storage

The Aiir audio player may use browser local storage to remember your preferred volume.

The item used for this purpose is:

player_volume

This allows the player to restore your preferred audio volume on a later visit.

This information is stored locally in your browser and is used to provide the player functionality and remember your preference.

You can remove it by clearing stored website data for k107.co.uk through your browser.

11. Managing cookies through your browser

Most web browsers allow you to view, delete and control cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

view cookies stored on your device;
delete individual cookies;
delete all cookies;
prevent particular websites from setting cookies;
block third-party cookies; or
configure cookies to be deleted when you close your browser.

Blocking all cookies may prevent some website features from working correctly.

The exact method varies depending on the browser and device you use.

12. Aiir's role

Our website is provided using technology supplied by Aiir.

Aiir provides the website platform and processes certain information in connection with providing that service to K107.

K107 remains responsible for deciding which optional third-party technologies, such as Google Analytics, are added to our website and for ensuring that our use of those technologies complies with applicable data-protection and privacy requirements.

For more information about how personal information is handled through our website, please see our Privacy Policy.

13. Changes to the cookies we use

The cookies and technologies used by our website may change as we add, remove or update website functionality.

We will review this Cookie Policy periodically and update it where necessary.

Where a significant change affects the choices previously made by visitors, we may ask visitors to review their cookie preferences again.

The date at the top of this policy shows when it was most recently updated.
