Well Overdue Publishing

This Cookies Policy explains how Well Overdue Publishing Ltd ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our music publishing administration portal available at portal.welloverdue.co.uk (the "Portal"). It also explains the choices you have about these technologies.

1. Who we are

Well Overdue Publishing Ltd is a private limited company registered in England & Wales (company number 14985056) with its registered office at 5 Cheapside Court, Sunninghill Road, Ascot, England, SL5 7RF. For details about how we process personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. They enable the site to recognise your device and remember information about your visit (for example, your chosen settings or whether you are logged in).

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies – erased when you close your browser; or
• Persistent cookies – stored for a predetermined period so that they remain between sessions.

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested do not require your prior consent. All other cookies do require consent. UK GDPR applies if cookies process personal data.

3. How we use cookies

We only set cookies that are essential to operate the Portal securely and efficiently. They enable us to:

• Authenticate you and maintain a secure session after you log in.
• Protect forms against cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
• Remember activity levels so we can adjust session time-outs intelligently.
• Cache and persist interface preferences between page loads.

All cookies are configured with security best-practice flags: HttpOnly (to protect against unauthorized script access), are sent only over secure HTTPS connections, and use SameSite=Lax (which helps protect your session from being misused by requests originating from other websites).

4. Cookies we set

Note: All cookies are stored server-side in an encrypted Redis store; only a reference ID is stored in your browser.

5. Managing cookies

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the Portal to function, they are enabled by default when you log in. If you disable cookies in your browser or use a browser-level blocker:

• You will not be able to log in or use essential Portal features, such as accessing account-specific information or services.
• You may view our informational website (if any) but will not be able to use the authenticated Portal.

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies via their settings. See the links below for more information:

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time (for example, if we add non-essential cookies in future). We will post any changes on this page and, where appropriate, notify you via the Portal.

7. Contact us

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact support@welloverdue.co.uk or write to The Data Protection Officer, Well Overdue Publishing Ltd, 5 Cheapside Court, Sunninghill Road, Ascot, England, SL5 7RF.
