What we store
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| cv_sid | Cookie (first-party, essential) | Keeps you signed in and protects forms against forgery. Set only when you sign in or open a page with a form (contact, log in, sign up, forgot password). | Until you close the browser |
| cv_age | Local storage | Remembers that you confirmed you are 18 or over in this browser. | Until you clear site data |
| cv_notice | Local storage | Remembers that you closed the cookie notice. | Until you clear site data |
| cv_under | Session storage | Remembers that you said you are under 18, so the age check stays closed in that tab. | Until the tab is closed |
| cv_start | Session storage | Records when your visit began, for the timer and the hourly reminder. | Until the tab is closed |
The site needs these items to work as described, so there is no switch to turn them off; the banner is a notice only. You can clear them in your browser settings whenever you like, and you will simply be asked your age again.
