1. Understanding Cookies and LocalStorage
Cookies are tiny alphanumeric text fragments placed on your device by websites you visit. Similar client-side technologies, such as HTML5 `localStorage`, allow web applications to retain temporary user preferences (like your UI font contrast or tools state) directly within your own browser without sending data back to central tracking servers.
2. What We Store
Our website functions without non-essential third-party advertising cookies. We only utilize strictly necessary client-side storage keys:
| Storage Mechanism | Cookie / Key Name | Purpose & Duration |
|---|---|---|
| LocalStorage | puremelody_user_consent |
Remembers that you have reviewed our legal notices (Persists up to 365 days). |
| Session State | session_active |
Maintains navigation states across pages within a single visit (Expires on tab close). |
3. Third-Party Tracker Absence
We intentionally reject commercial advertising networks, social tracking widgets, and invasive tracking platforms. When you read an essay about the Yaybahar or Mbira on puremelodyzubell.courses, your intellectual curiosity is not profiled for targeted advertising elsewhere on the internet.
4. Controlling Your Preferences
You hold total autonomy over your web browser. You can inspect, block, or delete cookies and site storage at any moment through your browser's security settings (usually located under Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data). Disabling cookies will not degrade your ability to read our research materials.
