1. Default state
Optional services are off by default. The website works fully without them.
2. Necessary storage
volumekeys_privacy_choices_v7 is local storage that records the selected service switches, consent version and time for up to 180 days. It is necessary to remember and enforce your choice. The entry is replaced when you save a new choice and removed when it is invalid or expired.
Two further entries are created only when you request the corresponding function. volumekeys-language is session storage that remembers the language you selected until you close the tab. volumekeys.demo.output-pair-names.v1 is local storage that keeps the names you enter in the interactive menu demonstration on this device for up to 180 days after the last change. Neither is used for measurement or sent to us. You can delete both through your browser controls.
If you use the contact form, Cloudflare Turnstile processes the technical browser and device signals needed to block automated abuse. It is not used for measurement or advertising.
3. Studiomood Intelligence
Studiomood Intelligence (SI) runs only if you opt in. When you select it, studiomood_si_analytics_session_v1 can store a random 128-bit pseudonymous session identifier and expiry time in local storage. The identifier is accepted for no more than 180 days; after that, a new identifier replaces it if you have consented. If you withdraw consent, it is deleted, provided your browser allows local storage.
The SI browser script is served from VolumeKeys. It does not place an analytics cookie. It sends the events listed in the privacy policy to a same-origin endpoint only after consent.
If you consent, SI events and sessions are stored in our Cloudflare database. A weekly cleanup deletes records once they are older than 400 days.
4. Cloudflare Web Analytics
Cloudflare Web Analytics loads only after its separate opt-in. Cloudflare states that its script sets no cookies and uses no local storage. It still needs your consent because it reads page and performance information in your browser and sends it to Cloudflare. Details are in the privacy policy.
5. Google Analytics 4
Google Analytics 4 loads only after its separate opt-in. _ga as well as _ga_* can distinguish browsers and sessions for up to 180 days under our configuration.
6. Legacy storage and checkout
We no longer use our earlier analytics system. If a browser still sends __Host-vk_analytics_session, __Host-vk_ab_session or __Host-vk_ab_variant from an earlier consent, the website expires those cookies on the next request. Historical consented records remain in the same D1 store and internal report until the existing retention routine deletes them. SI activation does not restart their retention period.
The live checkout URL is not configured and the website does not preload a Lemon Squeezy checkout. If checkout is enabled later, a deliberate Buy action loads Lemon Squeezy’s checkout script and opens the hosted checkout in a window over the current page, or as a separate page if that window cannot open. That request and the provider’s necessary storage are used to perform the requested transaction, not as a background website measurement service.
Optional providers can process data outside the EEA. The relevant safeguards and recipients are described in the privacy policy.
7. Change or withdraw your choice
You can reject all optional services or select each service individually. If you withdraw consent for a service that has already loaded, the page reloads so that the service stops sending requests. A new service or material purpose change requires a new consent version.
Browser controls can also delete cookies and local storage. Blocking necessary storage means the site may ask for your choice again on a later page view.
