COOKIES & LOCAL STORAGE
Cookie Policy and Settings
Last reviewed September 30, 2026.
This page describes storage controlled by the supplied publication. Reading articles, using search and comparing roles do not require optional reading-position storage. A visible Cookie settings control remains available in the lower corner of every page where the theme calls WordPress’s footer hook.
What the reading feature stores
| Name and type | Purpose and contents | When used | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| cl_privacy_v1 First-party cookie |
Remembers your yes/no reading choice, format version and choice timestamp | After you save, accept or reject a choice | Up to 180 days; your browser may remove it sooner |
| cl_reading_v1 Browser local storage |
Up to 30 article paths, reading-position ratios and timestamps | Only after you enable optional reading-position storage | Records are treated as expired after 180 days. Local storage has no automatic expiry; stale data is cleared or replaced when the feature next runs, or when you delete site data |
Change or withdraw your choice
Open reading and cookie settings
Choose Accept optional to enable the feature, Reject optional to turn it off, or Review settings to choose and save. Rejection attempts to remove the local reading record immediately. If the browser blocks saving a cookie or deleting local data, the control reports that problem and optional storage stays off on that page. Use your browser’s site-data controls if deletion is blocked.
Preferences apply to this browser and device. With JavaScript disabled, the feature does not save reading positions; the settings link still leads to policy information. Disabling scripts does not itself erase data saved on an earlier visit. You can remove that data in your browser.
Other services and external videos
The supplied package has no analytics or advertising tags and no embedded external video players. Video cards open the source’s website in a new tab only when you follow the link. That site’s cookie choices are separate.
WordPress administrator authentication, hosting/security services, a CDN and other plugins may use their own technology. This control does not block arbitrary third-party scripts or manage HttpOnly cookies. The publisher must review additional services and update this policy if the live site changes.
