What This Site Uses
Bent Over Club uses essential browser storage, plus optional advertising cookies if you accept them in the consent banner. If you choose "Only what's necessary," no advertising or analytics loads — only the strictly necessary items below.
Storage We Use
These are localStorage entries, not cookies in the technical sense. They never leave your browser and are never sent to any server. They exist solely to remember your preferences and poll votes between visits.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
boc-theme | localStorage | Remembers your light/dark mode preference | Persistent |
boc-cookie-consent | localStorage | Remembers your cookie consent choice | 6 months |
boc_holmes_pardon_voted | localStorage | Remembers your Holmes pardon poll vote | Persistent |
boc_microsoft_google_voted | localStorage | Remembers your Microsoft/Builder.ai poll vote | Persistent |
boc_adobe_billion_voted | localStorage | Remembers your Adobe/Figma poll vote | Persistent |
