Cookie policy

Last updated: 30 September 2026.

This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies are used on https://metalmagazine.eu, operated by Jazzmetal SL (NIF B64224462). For all other privacy information, see the Legal notice and privacy information.

WHAT COOKIES ARE

Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser. Some are necessary for the site to work; others, such as analytics cookies, are only set if you accept them.

HOW WE MANAGE YOUR CONSENT

On your first visit we show a notice with “Reject all”, “Accept all” and “Manage” options, all equally visible. Non-essential cookies are not set until you accept them. Continuing to browse does not mean you accept them.

You can change your choice at any time from the “Cookies” option in the site menu, which reopens the preferences panel on the page you are reading. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings.

Rejecting is itself a choice we have to remember, so it is stored in the two cookies listed below as necessary. If you ignore the notice, neither of them is set.

COOKIES WE USE

Necessary (no consent required)

  • analytics_consent (first party, metalmagazine.eu): stores your choice about analytics cookies. Duration: 1 year.
  • cookies_requested (first party, metalmagazine.eu): remembers that the cookie notice has already been answered. Duration: 1 year.
  • country (first party, metalmagazine.eu): identifies the country you are browsing from so that the site shows the advertising banners for that country. Duration: 1 day.
  • editions (first party, metalmagazine.eu): remembers your edition/language preference. Duration: 1 year.

These cookies are shared between metalmagazine.eu and acero.metalmagazine.eu, which use the same Google Analytics measurement. Google may process this data in the United States under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. More information: policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.

THIRD-PARTY CONTENT

Articles and advertising slots may include content embedded from third parties: videos, social media posts, newsletter subscription forms and similar. This content may set its own cookies when it loads or is played, and it is not covered by the choice above, because it is content you asked to see. Please consult the privacy policy of whoever provides it.
