The two browser keys the cedar-room page sets.

01. Two browser keys, that is the whole list

The cedar-room page sets exactly two browser keys via JavaScript on first visit. Both are stored in your device's localStorage, not in HTTP cookies, and neither is sent to a server.

02. The two keys we set

• cdg_age_ok — set to 1 the moment you press the “Yes, I am 18 or older” button on the age overlay. The key prevents the overlay from re-appearing on return visits within the same browser.
• cdg_ck_ok or cdg_ck_no — set to 1 when you press Accept or Decline on this cookie notice. The key prevents the banner from re-appearing on return visits within the same browser.

03. Why we use localStorage instead of HTTP cookies

HTTP cookies are sent with every request to the server, even when they only carry a flag the server does not need. localStorage keeps the same flag entirely on the device. For two small ones-and-zeros like these, localStorage is the more honest tool.

04. What this notice does not cover

The cedar-room page does not load any third-party tracker. There is no Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no Stripe tag, no chat widget. If a future version of the site adds any of those, this notice will be updated and the date of the update will appear in the workbench notes on the homepage.

05. Clearing the two keys

You can clear the two keys at any time by clearing your browser's site-data for the cedar-room domain. The next time you visit, the age overlay and cookie banner will appear again, as if it were a first visit.
