Cookie notice
Updated 13 August 2026 · in force from 13 August 2026
This notice explains the cookies and similar storage used on raidjury.com, what each category is for and how to switch the optional ones off. It sits alongside the privacy notice, which covers personal information more broadly.
1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file a site asks your browser to keep, so that something can be remembered between page loads. Similar technologies — local storage, session storage and the service worker used for browser notifications — do much the same job and are treated the same way here.
2. Categories in use
| Category | What it does | Set by | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Remembers your answer to the cookie banner so it is not shown again, and keeps the site working correctly. | RaidJury (local storage entry rj-cookie-choice) |
Until you clear your browser storage |
| Notifications | Stores the subscription identifier for browser notifications and whether a note was delivered. Created only after you allow notifications. | OneSignal (storage plus a service worker) | Until you remove the permission in your browser |
| Analytics | Counts visits and pages in aggregate so we can see which entries are read. No attempt is made to identify individual readers. | Analytics provider | Up to 24 months |
| Advertising | Delivers and measures advertising placements, and limits how often the same placement is shown to you. | Advertising networks | Up to 13 months |
Necessary storage is always active because the site cannot remember your banner choice without it. The other three categories are optional.
3. The consent banner
On your first visit a banner appears at the foot of the page with two buttons. Accept allows the optional categories; Decline keeps only the necessary ones. Either answer is stored locally so the banner stops appearing. To change your answer, clear the site's storage in your browser and the banner will be shown again on the next visit.
4. Turning cookies off in the browser
Every current browser lets you block or delete cookies from its settings, usually under Privacy, Site settings or Site data. You can block third-party cookies only, block everything, or clear what is already stored. Blocking necessary storage will not stop you reading the docket, but the banner will reappear on every visit.
5. Browser notifications
Notifications are a separate permission asked for by your browser, not by this page. If you allow them, OneSignal creates a subscription identifier and registers a service worker so notes can be delivered. Remove the permission in your browser's site settings and the identifier stops being used. Declining notifications does not affect the e-mail digest.
6. Changes and contact
Categories are reviewed whenever a provider changes. If this notice changes, the revised version replaces this page and the date at the top is updated. Questions go to inbox@raidjury.com.
