Reading comes first. Remembering your place is a separate choice.
The context compass never stores its selections in cookies or localStorage. A different, optional reading feature can remember article positions after consent.

Browser-storage inventory
Reading-feature storage
- qat_privacy_v1 · first-party cookie
- Records preference version, reading choice and timestamp after a deliberate saved choice. Maximum 180 days, scoped to this website path. A later choice replaces it; browser site-data controls can remove it.
- qat_reading_v1 · localStorage
- Optional article paths, reading positions and timestamps. Initialized only after reading-position consent, including an empty record on non-article pages. Entries at least 180 days old are ignored when read. Expired entries are removed on the next saved reading-position write, where browser access permits; each such write saves at most 30 records. Reading alone does not rewrite localStorage. Rejecting or disabling the option attempts to remove the record. Unused localStorage may remain until a later saved reading-position write, rejection or removal through browser controls.
- Home campus, course campus and task-stage selections
- Current-page memory only. The context compass does not persist these inputs; Reset removes them from the current page.
Other website technologies
The context compass and reading controls do not include analytics, advertising tags or third-party media players. Other WordPress plugins, embedded content and hosting services can operate separately. Reading-preference controls govern only the reading feature; they do not control those services or establish a complete inventory of the website.
WordPress sign-in and administration may use separate authentication cookies for signed-in users. These reading controls do not remove authentication cookies, email, server logs or records at linked websites. This list describes reading-feature storage and any additional details the publisher has supplied.
Accept, reject or adjust
The first-visit notice offers Accept optional, Reject optional and Settings with equal visual treatment. Nothing optional is enabled before a valid choice. The footer opens the same settings on every page. Rejecting or withdrawing removes this publication’s optional reading records, not records created by unrelated websites or software.
When storage is unavailable
If a preference cannot be saved, optional memory stays off. Articles and the compass remain usable. Browser cleanup or private mode may remove a previous choice; the notice may then appear again.
What this control does not cover
These settings do not configure official UW services, browser extensions or a host’s operations. See the Privacy Policy for website delivery, external links and correspondence.
