Cookie policy
Last updated: 31 October 2026
This policy explains what cookies and similar browser storage mhuncho.com relies on. It follows the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), which require consent before anything non-essential is stored on your device.
Our approach
- Nothing non-essential is stored or loaded before you have made a choice in the cookie banner.
- The YouTube video, the Spotify player and the TikTok fan edits are click-to-load: no third-party requests happen until you press play. The channel-updates list only loads when you open it.
- Microsoft Clarity analytics runs only if you choose “Accept analytics” — and it stops being loaded the moment you change your mind.
- The only thing stored by default is the banner answer itself, which is strictly necessary.
Change your mind at any time: use in the footer of any page (or this one) to reopen the banner.
What is stored, and when
| Name | Type | Purpose | When it is set |
|---|---|---|---|
| mh-cookie-consent | Local storage (this site) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we don't repeat the question. Contains no identifier and is never shared. | When you press “Accept analytics” or “Essentials only”. |
| _clck, _clsk and similar | Cookies / local storage (clarity.ms) | Microsoft Clarity analytics: pseudonymous usage data such as pages viewed, clicks, scrolls and session recordings, used to improve the site. | Only if you accept analytics. |
| YouTube cookies (e.g. YSC, VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE) | Cookies (youtube.com / google.com) | Video playback preferences, viewing statistics and — if you are signed in to Google — linking to your account. The video uses the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com embed. | Only when you press play on an embedded video or open the uploads list. |
| Spotify cookies (e.g. sp_t) | Cookies (spotify.com) | Player preferences and, if you are signed in to Spotify, playback history. | Only when you press “Load Spotify player”. |
| TikTok cookies (e.g. tt_webid_v2) | Cookies (tiktok.com) | Player preferences and, if you are signed in to TikTok, viewing activity for the embedded fan edits. | Only when you press play on a fan edit. |
Cover artwork in the singles and features lists is fetched from Apple's content delivery network as ordinary images, without cookies. If you have refused analytics, no Clarity requests of any kind are made.
Controlling cookies in your browser
You can delete or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings at any time — every major browser lets you do this per site. If you block the strictly necessary mh-cookie-consent entry, nothing breaks; the site will simply show you the banner again on your next visit.
