the short version
This is a musician’s website. I’m not in the data business. I don’t sell your data, I don’t run creepy profiles on you, and nothing that tracks you loads until you opt in through the cookie banner. If you say no, you still get the whole site.
who’s responsible
The data controller for this site is Coubey (Coubey Records), IČO 87836777, Prague, Czech Republic. Questions, requests, or “please delete my stuff”: hey@coubey.com.
what gets collected
- Hosting logs. Like every web server, my host briefly records IP addresses and request data to keep the site up and fend off abuse. Legitimate interest, short retention.
- Analytics (only with consent). If you allow analytics cookies, Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager collects anonymised usage stats: pages viewed, rough region, device type. IP is anonymised and ad-data redaction is on.
- Marketing (only with consent).Off by default. If you allow it, ad tags may set cookies for measuring campaigns. I’m a small artist, so this is rarely used, but the toggle exists.
- Email. If you write to hey@coubey.com, I keep that email so I can reply. That’s it.
cookies
The site loads no tracking cookies before you choose. Here’s the full list:
| cookie | purpose | retention |
|---|---|---|
| coubey_consent | Remembers your cookie choices. Strictly necessary. | 6 months |
| _ga / _ga_* | Google Analytics — anonymous usage stats. Set only if you allow analytics. | up to 2 years |
| ad / conversion tags | Set only if you allow marketing. Campaign measurement. | varies |
Changed your mind? You can update or withdraw consent any time:
who sees it
Analytics and tag data are processed by Google (Google Ireland Ltd. for EU visitors) as my processor, and may be transferred to the US under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework with standard contractual clauses. Streaming embeds (Spotify) load on the music pages and set their own cookies under their own policies once you interact with them.
your rights (GDPR)
If you’re in the EU/EEA you can ask to access, correct, delete, or port your data, object to processing, or withdraw consent — without it costing you anything. Email hey@coubey.com and I’ll handle it. You can also complain to the Czech DPA (Ú’ad pro ochranu osobních údajů, uoou.cz) if you think I’ve messed up.
changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the “last updated” date moves and the consent banner asks again. That’s the whole mechanism.
