INFORMATION & POLICIES
Cookie Notice
Updated 12 November 2026
What OPC stores on your device and how you can control it.
Essential service cookies
ChatGPT Sites, OpenAI sign-in and Cloudflare may use cookies needed for security, access and reliable delivery. For example, Cloudflare may set a security cookie such as __cf_bm. These are separate from optional advertising or visit-tracking tools.
Cocktail of the Month voting
When you cast a vote, OPC sets an essential first-party cookie named opc-voter for up to one year. It contains a random browser identifier, used with your monthly choice and voting time to limit repeat votes. It is not used for advertising or tracking across websites. Votes are stored securely with our hosting provider. Clearing the cookie can permit another vote, so this community poll does not verify individual identities.
Saved cocktails
When you use a heart, we save recipe identifiers in local storage under opc-saved. This keeps your notebook on this browser and device. It does not create an account, send your saved list to OPC or follow you on other websites. Remove saved drinks using their hearts, or clear this site’s storage in your browser.
Accessibility preferences
Text size and readable-font choices are stored locally under opc-text-size and opc-readable-font. Use the Aa control to change them, reset to the default size and turn Readable font off, or clear browser storage.
Optional visitor analytics cookie
If you accept visitor analytics, OPC sets opc-analytics, a random first-party cookie lasting up to 90 days. It lets us estimate distinct browsers and their approximate countries, using our hosting network. No advertising or cross-site tracking is involved. A separate local-storage entry, opc-analytics-choice-v1, remembers your choice. Accept and reject are equally available in Analytics settings in the footer of every public page. Rejecting later removes the cookie and its associated visitor records. OPR is a separate website with its own choices.
Aggregate measurement without identifiers
OPC counts page views and selected site actions as daily totals by page and broad referral category. This uses no analytics cookies or visitor identifiers. It does not count unique people and does not store form contents or full referring URLs. See our Privacy Notice.
Your controls
You can block or delete cookies and local storage using browser settings. Blocking essential storage can affect sign-in and security; blocking local storage means preferences may not persist. Contact info@otherpeoplescocktails.co.uk with questions, or read the Privacy Notice.
