Cookie policy

This cookie policy explains how Boxing Organizations History uses essential browser storage to remember the site preference notice, how that storage relates to cookies and similar technologies, what the localStorage key does, and how advertising-related cookies would be disclosed if they are introduced later. It is written to match the site's real mechanisms rather than to invent tracking products that are not present.

Accepting the site preference notice does not submit an inquiry, does not create an official sanctioning-organization relationship, and does not process a payment. Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact form.

Boxing Organizations History operates this website as an independent informational boxing history website. The site publishes organization overviews, comparison notes, champions context, and a contact form for inquiries. Boxing Organizations History is not an official website of the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO, or any other boxing sanctioning organization.

Questions about cookies, localStorage, or the site preference notice can be sent through the inquiry form. Privacy topics that go beyond storage technologies are covered in the Privacy Policy. Website use rules appear in the Terms of Use.

This policy covers browser storage technologies used on Boxing Organizations History pages, including cookies (if set by the site or by future advertising tools), localStorage, and related client-side preferences. It also explains the on-page notice controlled by data-cookie-notice and handled with ../script.js.

This policy does not claim that Boxing Organizations History currently runs a full advertising pixel stack unless those tools are actually enabled. It does disclose how essential notice storage works today and how future advertising cookies would be described if added. The website does not process payments, does not run checkout, and does not confirm bookings online; cookie acceptance is not a payment consent and is not an official relationship confirmation.

A cookie is a small piece of data that a browser can store when you visit a site. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, and pixels that may be used by advertising or analytics providers. Boxing Organizations History's primary disclosed client-side preference today uses localStorage rather than a marketing cookie wall.

Browsers differ in how they label and control these technologies. You can usually clear site data, block cookies, or remove localStorage entries through browser settings. Doing so may cause the site preference notice to appear again because Boxing Organizations History will no longer see the acceptance key described below.

Boxing Organizations History displays a site preference notice in an aside element marked with data-cookie-notice. The notice explains that essential browser storage is used to remember the notice. When you choose "Accept notice," site script associated with ../script.js stores your acceptance using the localStorage key:

boxing_orgs_history_cookie_ok_v1

That key exists so the banner does not repeatedly interrupt reading after you have acknowledged it. Accepting the notice:

  • does not create a Boxing Organizations History account;
  • does not submit an inquiry;
  • does not collect inquiry activity through the notice itself;
  • does not process payment;
  • does not create an official sanctioning-organization relationship.

If you never accept the notice, the banner may continue to display according to the script's behavior. You can still browse informational pages and you can still use the contact form; the notice preference is separate from inquiry submission.

Name / technology Type Purpose Duration / control
boxing_orgs_history_cookie_ok_v1 localStorage Remember that the site preference notice was accepted Until cleared by the visitor's browser or site data removal
data-cookie-notice / data-cookie-accept Page UI + script hooks Show and dismiss the essential notice Session display until accepted or page rules change
Hosting / security cookies (if any are set by infrastructure) Possible first-party technical cookies Ordinary delivery, security, or load handling by hosting As configured by hosting; not used by Boxing Organizations History as a sales profile
Future advertising or measurement cookies Possible third-party or first-party ad tech Only if enabled later for ads/measurement Will be listed in an updated version of this policy

The inquiry form on the contact page is a separate mechanism from the cookie notice. The form posts to ../submit.php and includes fields such as full_name, email, request_type, platform, game_title, preferred_reply, message, and consent, plus hidden fields form_type, origin_page, and started_at, and a honeypot field named company. Those values are submitted for review and reply; they are not stored inside boxing_orgs_history_cookie_ok_v1.

When requests are processed, Boxing Organizations History may store a SHA-256 hashed IP address and the user-agent string with the request for security and abuse resistance. That server-side association is described in the privacy policy. It is not the same thing as the localStorage acceptance key, and it is not created merely by dismissing or accepting the notice.

7.1 Strictly necessary / essential preferences

The notice acceptance key is treated as an essential preference for operating the site's reading experience without repeatedly interrupting visitors who already acknowledged the message. Without some form of memory, the notice would have no durable way to stay dismissed on return visits in the same browser profile.

7.2 Functional storage

Boxing Organizations History may use additional functional client storage in the future for usability (for example remembering a UI state that is not advertising). If that happens, this policy will be updated with the key names and purposes.

7.3 Analytics

If analytics tools are added later, Boxing Organizations History will disclose whether they use cookies, what they measure, and how to opt out where an opt-out is available. Boxing Organizations History will not pretend analytics are active before they are enabled.

7.4 Advertising

If Google Ads or similar advertising platforms are used with cookies or similar identifiers, Boxing Organizations History will update this policy to describe those technologies, partners at a category level, and available controls. Advertising would be used to promote informational pages and the inquiry route, not to claim that the website processes payment or confirms bookings online.

Online advertising networks often use cookies or mobile identifiers to deliver ads, limit repeated ads, measure clicks, and detect invalid traffic. If Boxing Organizations History runs Google Ads or comparable campaigns that rely on such technologies:

  • this cookie policy will be updated to state that advertising cookies or similar technologies may be used;
  • the privacy policy will cross-reference advertising data practices;
  • visitors will be pointed to browser controls and, where applicable, industry opt-out tools offered by advertising platforms;
  • Boxing Organizations History will continue to state that it does not sell personal information.

Until advertising cookies are actually deployed on the site, treat the essential notice storage as the primary disclosed client-side preference technology. Do not interpret the existence of this advertising section as a claim that third-party ad cookies are already writing profiles on every visit.

Boxing Organizations History does not sell personal information. Accepting the site preference notice does not authorize sale of your data. Form submissions are reviewed for reply purposes under the privacy policy. Hashed IP and user-agent associations support security and abuse resistance, not a data-broker marketplace.

Client-side storage and any personal information linked to inquiries are handled with regard to transparency, purpose limitation, and reasonable security. This policy does not invent a registration number or certification badge. For access or correction requests related to inquiry records, use the contact form. Clearing localStorage on your device is under your browser's control and does not require a ticket from Boxing Organizations History, though you may still contact us with questions.

You can manage storage technologies through your browser. Typical options include:

  • deleting cookies and site data for Boxing Organizations History-related hosts;
  • removing localStorage entries, including boxing_orgs_history_cookie_ok_v1;
  • blocking third-party cookies if your browser offers that control;
  • using private browsing modes, noting that preferences may not persist after the session.

Exact menu names differ between browsers and devices. After clearing the acceptance key, the site preference notice may appear again on a later visit. That is expected behavior.

If you use browser extensions that block scripts, the notice controls or form enhancements provided by ../script.js may behave differently. The HTML form can still be submitted as a normal POST to ../submit.php when the page is usable, subject to ordinary browser and network conditions.

Boxing Organizations History pages are intended for adults researching boxing organization history. The site does not use the notice mechanism to build profiles of children. Guardians who have questions about storage or an inquiry submitted by a minor should use the contact form.

Hosting providers and security services may process technical connection data to deliver pages. Those providers are not authorized by Boxing Organizations History to sell visitor personal information obtained through Boxing Organizations History's inquiry channel. If third-party advertising or analytics vendors are added, they will process data under their own technologies and policies as disclosed in an updated version of this document.

External links on Boxing Organizations History pages may set their own cookies when you leave this site. Boxing Organizations History does not control third-party cookie practices on destinations it does not operate.

localStorage values on your device can be read by scripts running on the same origin. Boxing Organizations History does not place payment card numbers in localStorage. Do not enter payment details into the inquiry message field. The acceptance key only records that the notice was accepted.

Server-side, hashed IP storage using SHA-256 and user-agent retention with requests are protective measures for the inquiry route. They are complementary to cookie policy topics but are detailed primarily in the privacy policy because they are request metadata rather than a browser preference key.

The boxing_orgs_history_cookie_ok_v1 value remains until you remove it or clear site data. Boxing Organizations History does not push a remote delete command into your browser for that key after acceptance. Inquiry-related hashed IP and user-agent data follow the retention approach in the privacy policy and are kept only as needed for review, security, and ordinary correspondence integrity.

Because the website does not process payments and does not provide checkout or booking confirmation, cookie or localStorage acceptance is unrelated to payment authorization. Website refunds are not applicable. Visit financial terms that may apply later are confirmed separately and are not controlled by the site preference notice.

Boxing Organizations History may update this policy when storage mechanisms change, when advertising or analytics tools are introduced, or when clearer disclosure is needed for legal or platform review (including Google Ads landing-page expectations). The current version will be posted on this page. Material changes will be written in plain English in the affected sections.

You may:

  • accept the notice to store boxing_orgs_history_cookie_ok_v1;
  • clear that key through browser tools;
  • contact Boxing Organizations History about personal information in inquiry records via the inquiry form;
  • decline to use the website if you do not accept these storage practices.

Access and correction rights for personal information held by Boxing Organizations History are described in the privacy policy. Cookie preference control on your device is primarily exercised through the browser.

To avoid confusion during advertising or compliance review, the site preference notice is not:

  • an official sanctioning-organization contract;
  • a payment authorization;
  • a confirmation of official WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, or IBO status;
  • consent to sell personal information;
  • consent to fictional membership enrollment;
  • a statement of prices, memberships, unofficial statistics, or fixed hours.

Those topics either do not apply to the website payment-free design or are confirmed separately if a visit discussion proceeds after an inquiry.

For questions about this cookie policy or the site preference notice:

For boxing-history questions, use the Contact page form. Submitting that form does not create an official sanctioning-organization relationship and does not process payment on the website.

If you arrived from an advertisement or from an organization page and only need the short version: Boxing Organizations History currently uses essential localStorage key boxing_orgs_history_cookie_ok_v1 to remember notice acceptance; inquiry data is handled under the privacy policy; the website does not sell personal information; advertising cookies will be listed here if and when they are enabled; and official relationship confirmation remains a separate step after human review. The longer sections above exist so reviewers and visitors can see the full mechanism without guessing.
