Option Uplift cookie policy

Option Uplift cookie policy explains what happens when you choose an option in the cookie notice on our homepage.

The visible choice

A small notice, two buttons

The homepage notice contains a short message and asks you to choose how to proceed. It does not open a settings panel.

On the homepage

The notice links to this policy and offers the buttons “Essential only” and “Accept cookies.”

01

Choose “Essential only”

The site records that this button was selected, then hides the notice.

02 / Or choose

“Accept cookies”

The site saves this selection too and hides the notice. The button choice is not a category-by-category settings screen.

Both buttons dismiss the notice after a selection. Read the site terms
Saved in this browser

Your choice stays in this browser

The homepage script saves your selection in your browser’s localStorage. It uses the key optionuplift-cookie-choice and records the button value, either essential or all.

The saved value stays with this browser’s site data.

A browser record

The choice itself is held in localStorage, which is browser storage rather than a cookie.

Local to your browser

When you return, the notice stays out of the way if your browser still remembers your choice.

Managing the saved choice

You can clear it from your browser

If you remove the site’s saved browser data, the stored selection goes with it. The homepage can then show the notice again.

Step 01

Open browser settings

Use your browser’s controls for clearing site data. The wording and location differ between browsers.

Step 02

Return to the homepage

With the saved value cleared, the notice may appear again so you can make a selection.

Storage note

If your browser blocks localStorage, the script cannot keep the selection for a later visit.

Third-party resources

Some page resources come from other providers

The site loads fonts and page libraries from Google Fonts, jsDelivr, and Cloudflare’s cdnjs. Its contact page also includes a Google Maps embed, which may load map resources from Google.

Google and the CDN providers may make further requests or load resources under their own control. This page’s saved choice does not manage that activity; check each provider’s information for its practices.

A separate provider

An embedded map or externally hosted file can connect your browser to its provider when it loads.

A clear scope

This policy sticks to the choice notice

The controls on the homepage save a selection. They do not open a list of cookie categories or individual switches.

01

What the script does

It stores the selected button value in localStorage and hides the homepage notice when a saved value is present.

02 / What it does not show

No category controls

The notice does not let you inspect or change separate cookie categories. This policy makes no claim about categories the interface does not implement.

Browser storage and cookies are different mechanisms. External resources may have their own behavior.
Still wondering?

A few quick answers

The homepage notice has a simple job: record a button choice in this browser and stay out of the way afterward.

For broader information, see our other site policies.

The choice made in the homepage notice is saved in localStorage. That is browser storage, separate from a cookie.

The script saves the value for that button and hides the notice. It does not open or apply a separate category settings panel.

Clear this site’s saved data in your browser, then revisit the homepage. The notice can appear again when no choice is stored.
