Cookie policy
This site sets no cookies at all. It does keep two named values in your browser's local storage, and because those values are the only thing we store on your device, they are documented here individually.
Last updated 4 August 2026.
Cookies
None. Held Note is a static site with no server-side sessions, no login, no shopping basket and no advertising, so it has nothing to put in a cookie. If your browser reports a cookie from peluqari.pro, something is wrong and we would be grateful if you would tell us.
What we do store
Two values are written to window.localStorage by the single JavaScript file
this site loads, desk/heldnote.js. Local storage differs from a cookie in one
important respect: it is never attached to network requests, so these values are never
transmitted to us or to anyone else. They stay in your browser until you or we remove
them.
| Name | Set when | Value | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
pq.band.hidden |
You press “Understood” on the notice strip near the top of the page. | The literal text yes. |
So the notice strip stays closed on the pages you visit afterwards instead of reappearing each time. | Until you clear it, here or in your browser settings. |
pq.visits.seen |
On every page load, including this one. | A whole number, incremented by one each time. | To show the “pages opened from this browser” line in the sidebar. It is a courtesy for the reader; we never see the number. | Until you clear it, here or in your browser settings. |
That is the complete list. There is no third value, no identifier, no session token, and nothing that could be used to recognise you on another site. Neither value contains a date, a page address, an IP address or anything you typed.
Remove them now
The button below deletes both values from this browser immediately. Nothing else on the site changes, except that the notice strip will appear again and the page count will restart from one.
You can achieve the same thing through your browser: in Chrome, Edge or Firefox, open the developer tools, choose the storage or application panel, select local storage for peluqari.pro and delete the two entries. Clearing site data for this domain also removes them. If you browse in a private or incognito window, both values are discarded when you close it.
If JavaScript is off
Nothing is stored, and the site still works. You will see the notice strip on every page and no page count in the sidebar. The genre filter in the listening room, the expanding questions and the contact form checks all need JavaScript, but every reading, every heading and every link remains readable without it.
Third parties
There are none. No fonts from a font service, no icons from a CDN, no maps, no embedded video, no analytics and no social widgets. Every file this site requests comes from peluqari.pro, which is why there is no third-party cookie table on this page — such a table would be empty.
