Privacy
What the site collects, why, and what it does not do.
Forms
The “Write to us” and “Contribute” forms store the information you enter (name, email, message, contribution and, where applicable, the uploaded file). It is used only to reply to you and to process your contribution; files stay private until moderation.
Cookies
The site sets no advertising or tracking cookies. A single technical cookie (“csrftoken”) protects the forms against forged submissions. Your language choice is remembered in your browser (local storage) and is not sent anywhere.
Audience measurement
Privacy-friendly audience measurement may be enabled (Vercel Web Analytics, Plausible, Umami or Matomo). It works without cookies, only collects aggregate statistics (page views, referrer, device type) and does not load if your browser sends the “Do Not Track” or “Global Privacy Control” signal.
YouTube videos
YouTube-hosted videos appear on several pages: music, festivals, ceremonies, history, regions, people and literature. No YouTube player is loaded until you click “Listen” or “Watch”: only a thumbnail is shown from YouTube’s image server (i.ytimg.com), without cookies. After your click, the video plays via youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode; Google (YouTube) may then receive your IP address and technical playback data, and store items in your browser once playback starts, under its own privacy policy.
Your rights
You can request access to, correction or deletion of your data, and the withdrawal of a contribution, by writing to us via the “Write to us” page. Consent to be contacted is separate from consent to publish.
Data controller: to be completed.
