Cookies and localStorage are different
A cookie is a small value a website can ask your browser to store and send with matching web requests. LocalStorage also holds small values, but it is accessed by scripts on the same origin and is not automatically attached to every request. Privacy rules can cover both, depending on their purpose and applicable law.
This static build sets no HTTP or JavaScript cookies. It uses one localStorage entry after you choose a privacy option. The term “cookie preferences” is used as a familiar label for these browser-storage controls, not as a claim that tracking cookies are present.
The storage inventory
The table describes the supplied files. A host or infrastructure provider could add behaviour outside these files, so the deployed service must be checked before its operator claims a complete infrastructure inventory.
| Category | Name / technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | cfhq-cookie-choice-v1First-party localStorage | Stores accept or reject, a schema version and the choice timestamp. Contains no contact-form details. | 180 days, then removed on a subsequent page visit; sooner if you clear it. |
| Analytics | None installed | No audience measurement or session-recording scripts. | Not applicable |
| Functional, optional | None installed | No saved reading lists, embedded media preferences or third-party map settings. | Not applicable |
What each button does
Accept All stores an accept choice and dismisses the banner. Because this build has no optional tracking, it does not load another script or start measuring your visits. It is not advance consent to any future feature.
Reject Non-Essential stores a reject choice and dismisses the banner. All editorial content remains available. Preferences opens an explanation and lets you save essential-only storage. Simply opening or closing that explanation does not silently change your existing choice.
You can reopen preferences from any page footer. Choices apply to this browser and origin, not every device you own. If storage is blocked, the site still works, but the banner may return when you navigate or reload. Private browsing may remove the saved choice when the private session ends.
Remove or block browser storage
In Chrome on Android, open Settings, then Site settings, and find the site under stored site data or All sites. Use the clear or reset option for cricketfnshq.click. Menu wording can vary by browser version. Clearing only third-party cookies may not remove this first-party localStorage entry.
In desktop Chrome or Edge, search Settings for “site data”, find this domain and delete its stored data. In Firefox, use Settings, Privacy & Security, Cookies and Site Data, then Manage Data. In Safari, use its privacy settings and Manage Website Data; on iPhone or iPad, website data controls are available through Safari’s settings.
Blocking all site storage can affect other websites, including their sign-in features. Removing only this domain’s data is a narrower option. Browser vendor help is the best reference if the labels differ on your device. After removal, the banner can appear again because the saved instruction is gone.
External services and future changes
Official-source links take you away from this website only when activated. The destination then applies its own storage practices. The static location illustration does not contact a mapping provider. Preparing a contact email does not write your message into browser preference storage.
If optional analytics or functional storage is introduced, this inventory and the controls must be updated before those features run. Any legally required consent must be obtained first. For questions about storage or privacy rights, use [email protected] and read the privacy policy, including its publisher-verification notice.
