We use cookies to deliver a personalised web browsing experience. We remember and store information about how you use the website anonymously.

Whenever you use our website, information may be collected through the use of cookies. By using this website, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or application. Your web browser (such as Safari, Microsoft EDGE, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome) then sends these cookies back to the website or application on each subsequent visit so that they can recognise your return visit and remember things like personalised details, basket contents or user preferences you made previously.
Cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you’ve been on the internet.
Cookies perform different functions which help to make your experience on our website as smooth as possible. For example, they let you move between web pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your experience.

• Session cookies only last for your online session and disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies stay on your computer or device after the browser has been closed and last for the period of time specified in the cookie. These persistent cookies are activated each time you visit the site.

In order to keep our website content relevant, we use Google analytics to help us understand how site visitors navigate through the website. For example, we can see which part of the website are visited regularly, identify how long people spend on any page and identify when they leave the website. Web analytics services use cookies to recognise your browser or device and, for example, identify whether you have visited our website previously and what content you may have browsed.
This information allows us to see how many individual site visitors we get each day and identify what they may like or dislike based upon their browsing behaviour.This helps us to visualise site traffic activity in order to see how we can improve the website for everyone. The site visitors identity cannot be seen but each visitor will have a unique identifying code applied as a random series of numbers & letters.
These codes do not identify any individual’s personal data or reveal any personal identifying data about you e.g. email address.
Managing analytics cookies
It is possible to opt out of having your browsing activity recorded by analytics cookies.

4. Third party cookies
Most cookies we use are “first party cookies”, which means they are set and controlled by DEROSA MUSIC ltd. You may have a third party cookie set for example if you watch one of our YouTube videos and then watch further suggested (by YouTube) videos which may contain adverts. Any cookies set in this way are beyond our control.
How to control, manage or delete cookies
There are various ways that you can control and manage cookies but be aware that any cookies you remove will affect the whole site during your visit or session. For instance you may not be able to remember items in the basket if you are buying something online (a process which requires cookies). Also please be aware that deleting cookies on one device (e.g. a mobile phone) doesn’t automatically delete them from another device (e.g. a tablet) when you visit our website. So you must delete cookies by device.
Managing cookies in the browser of your device.
Most browsers will allow you to:
• See what cookies are set and delete them on an individual or global basis.
• Block third party cookies.
• Block all cookies from being set.
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser.
The nature of cookies
Be aware that any preferences you set previously will be lost if you “delete all cookies”. This includes your request to opt out from cookies, as this requires an opt-out cookie to be set. This means that if you opt out from cookies and then delete all cookies, your opt out will not be saved and you will need to opt out again next time you visit (which will store a strictly necessary cookie so that your device can remember that you have opted out).
If you block cookies completely, this website will not work properly and some functionality will not work at all. We do not recommend turning cookies off for this reason.
