Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 28, 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use sessionStorage, a similar browser mechanism that persists only for the current browser session.
This site sets no cookies while you browse anonymously. Cookies appear only when you sign in or use a form that needs protection. We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, do not embed third-party trackers, and do not participate in cross-site tracking. Anonymous page timing reports do not set cookies or use browser storage. Because every cookie we set is strictly necessary for the feature you are using, there is no consent banner.
How We Use Cookies
Essential Cookies
These cookies are set when you use the sign-in and account area. All are HttpOnly (not readable by page scripts) and first-party.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| kreisleriana_session | Holds your sign-in session after you authenticate with our identity service | 8 hours | HTTP |
| kreisleriana_access | Holds the token used to call our API on your behalf while signed in | 8 hours | HTTP |
| kreisleriana_oidc_flow | Carries in-flight sign-in state during the redirect to and from the identity service; sent only to the sign-in callback path | 10 minutes | HTTP |
| kreisleriana_csrf | Protects account forms against cross-site request forgery | 8 hours | HTTP |
Web Storage
The music search page generates a random identifier in sessionStorage. It is sent with search queries and result clicks so we can measure how relevant the results are. It is not derived from your identity, is not shared with anyone, and disappears when your browser session ends. The server-side search records that carry it are deleted after 90 days.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| kreisler-music-session | Anonymous search-session identifier for measuring result relevance | Browser session | sessionStorage |
How to Control Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Blocking the essential cookies prevents sign-in and the account area from working; the rest of the site does not depend on them.

We may update this cookie policy from time to time. Changes are reflected in the date at the top of this page.
