#Cookies

musics.name sets no cookies of its own and none for advertising. Google Analytics 4 sets two optional cookies, _ga and _ga_4E6WSK2M58 (up to two years, a random identifier, no name or email), to measure aggregate traffic. You can block them in your browser or with Google’s opt-out add-on; nothing on the site breaks without them. There is no cookie banner.

#Two local items

The colour-theme switch stores your choice in your browser’s localStorage under the key musics-theme, with the value light or dark. If you clear your browser’s site data, the preference is deleted and the site falls back to your operating system’s light/dark setting.

The search box remembers the last five pages you opened from it (a title and an address each) under the key musics.recent, so they can be offered again next time. Neither item is a cookie: neither is ever sent to the server, neither is readable by other sites, and neither is used to identify you. Clearing your browser’s site data removes both, and nothing breaks if they are absent.

#Third-party resources

Google Analytics (Google LLC) is the only one: its script loads from googletagmanager.com. Fonts, stylesheets, other scripts and images are all served from this domain. There are no embedded videos, no social media widgets and no external comment systems.

#Following a link

When you click through to a streaming platform or another reference site, that site’s own cookie and privacy policies apply from that point on. This site does not pass anything about you to them beyond what your browser sends with any ordinary link.

#Microphone permission

The chromatic tuner asks for microphone permission. That is a browser permission, not a cookie or a stored identifier, and it can be revoked at any time in your browser’s site settings. The audio never leaves your device — see the privacy page for details.
