Cookie policy

This cookie policy explains how North Star Boxing Academy, a professional boxing club and training academy in Canada, uses essential browser storage. The site remembers a simple preference so returning members can keep reading training information without repeating the same notice on every visit. Advertising cookies and analytics integrations are not configured.

North Star Boxing Academy does not sell tickets as a marketplace and does not operate wagering products. Cookie and storage practices described here support the academy website interface only. They are not used to score visitors for advertising or to track members across unrelated websites. The gym desk is at 8882 170 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5T 3J7, Canada.

The notice you may see on a first visit is a short explanation of essential storage, not a paywall and not a membership signup. You can keep reading training pages whether or not you have trained at the Edmonton gym. Accepting the notice does not enroll you in a class. Declining to store a preference may mean the notice appears again later. That repetition is a storage result, not a penalty and not a comment on your boxing experience.

Storage used by this site

The site uses essential storage only. The academy does not set advertising pixels, does not load a third-party analytics tag for audience measurement, and does not drop marketing cookies for retargeting. The storage that does exist is limited to a preference flag in localStorage so the banner can stay hidden after you accept it.

playatlas_cookie_choice_v1

Remembers whether the essential-storage notice was accepted. This is the essential storage key name used by the site script. The value records acceptance of the notice so returning members are not asked again on each page view.

The key name playatlas_cookie_choice_v1 is a technical label in browser storage. It does not create a membership account, does not store your email, and does not contain class times or trial-class message text. If you never accept the banner, the notice may appear again on later visits because the preference has not been saved. The key name is stated here because the site script that writes it must not be edited as part of this policy update.

Essential storage of this kind is used to keep the interface stable. Without a stored choice, the banner would interrupt reading after every navigation between Training Desk, Programs, About the Academy, Member Help, or a training article. The academy chose a single preference key rather than a set of tracking cookies.

First-party in this context means the academy website writes the key in the browser for this site. The academy is not asking a social network, an advertising exchange, or a measurement vendor to drop a matching identifier. The value is a preference flag, not a profile of which drills you read. Staff at the gym desk cannot open your laptop and see playatlas_cookie_choice_v1. It lives on your device until you or your browser remove it.

What this storage is not used for

The preference key is not an advertising identifier. It is not shared with social networks, data brokers, or sports-betting partners. The academy does not use it to personalize commercial offers because the site does not process visitor payments and does not sell tickets through these pages.

The key is not used to measure how long you spend on a training article, which program pages you open, or whether you return after a weekend of gym sessions. Those measurements would require analytics cookies or similar tools, and those tools are not configured. If the academy later adds a non-essential cookie, this policy will be updated before that change is treated as current practice.

Form submissions are separate from this storage key. If you send a trial-class enquiry, a privacy question, or a copyright notice, the message fields travel through the form route described in the privacy policy. That route may record an IP address and browser User-Agent with the submission. Those values are not written into playatlas_cookie_choice_v1.

The key is not used to remember your preferred class time, your sparring history, or your membership status. Those operational details, if they exist, live with the Edmonton gym desk. The key is not used to decide whether you may book a trial class. A trial class is arranged through published contact channels, not through a stored banner choice.

Accepting the notice

When you press Accept on the banner, the site script writes playatlas_cookie_choice_v1 so the banner can remain closed on later page views in the same browser. That action is limited to essential interface state. It is not consent for advertising, not consent for a newsletter, and not consent for a payment. You can still email the desk, call +1 (780) 444-5321, or visit 8882 170 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5T 3J7, Canada without accepting the banner.

If you reload a page and the banner is gone, the preference was stored successfully in that browser. If the banner returns, the key was not written, was cleared, or is blocked. Training copy remains readable in either case. The academy does not hide articles behind the notice.

Browser control

You can clear localStorage and browser cookies through your browser settings. Clearing essential storage may cause the notice to appear again. That is expected behavior, not an error. After you accept the notice once more, the same key name will be written again if you choose to accept.

Browser controls vary by product, but most include a settings area for cookies, site data, or stored data. You may remove data for this site only, or you may clear stored data for many sites at once. If you use a private or temporary browsing mode, the preference may disappear when the session ends, and the banner may return the next time you open the academy website.

Device-level tools such as content blockers can also remove or block storage. If a blocker prevents playatlas_cookie_choice_v1 from being written, the banner may keep appearing even after you press Accept. The training pages themselves remain readable. The banner is a notice about essential storage, not a paywall and not a ticket checkout.

Shared computers, library machines, and family tablets may retain the preference for the next person who uses the same browser profile. If you are on a public device, consider clearing site data when you finish reading. That step is for your own comfort. The stored value is only an acceptance flag, not a name or an email. Mobile browsers follow the same idea: the key stays with that app's storage until you clear it or until the app resets site data.

How long the preference lasts

The preference remains until you clear it or until your browser deletes site data under its own rules. The academy does not set a separate marketing expiration because no marketing cookie is configured. Returning members who keep the key will usually see the banner only after a new device, a new browser profile, or a storage reset.

The academy does not remotely delete playatlas_cookie_choice_v1 from your device. Only you, your browser, or a tool you install can remove that local value. If you want the banner to stay hidden, leave the key in place. If you want to review the notice again, clear site data for this website and reload a page. Reinstalling a browser, switching profiles, or using another phone will usually look like a first visit again.

Interface state and returning members

The banner text on the site explains that essential browser storage is used for the cookie preference and interface state so returning members can keep reading training information without repeating the notice. That sentence matches the purpose of playatlas_cookie_choice_v1. The academy is not using additional keys for theme experiments, A and B tests, or advertising frequency caps.

Interface state in this context means the banner can remain closed after you accept it. Returning member in this context means a person who comes back to read training information in the same browser. It does not mean the site recognizes you as a paying member of the boxing club. Membership is handled at the Edmonton gym desk, not by this storage key.

Changes to this cookie policy

The academy may update this cookie policy if essential storage practices change. The current version is the text on this page. If a non-essential cookie were ever added, this document would describe it before that cookie would be treated as current practice. Until then, assume only the preference key named above is in use. The script label playatlas_cookie_choice_v1 will continue to be named here for as long as the site script uses that key.

Relation to other academy records

Accepting the essential-storage notice does not create a membership file at 8882 170 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5T 3J7, Canada. Clearing playatlas_cookie_choice_v1 does not cancel a class, delete a trial-class email, or change a phone message left at +1 (780) 444-5321. Those records, if they exist, are handled through the gym desk and the privacy policy, not through this browser key. If you use two browsers on the same computer, each browser keeps its own copy of the preference or none at all.

Contact route

For cookie-policy questions, email [email protected] , call +1 (780) 444-5321, or write to 8882 170 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5T 3J7, Canada. You may also use the Book a trial class contact page and state that the message concerns cookies or essential storage. Contact is through the published email, phone, and address.

Site name: North Star Boxing Academy. Service model: professional boxing club and training academy in Canada. Please include your name, a reply method, and a short description of the question. If the question concerns the storage key, mention playatlas_cookie_choice_v1 so the desk can confirm you are asking about the essential preference rather than a form record.

The Edmonton gym desk handles membership and business correspondence through the published email, phone line, and postal address. Cookie questions are treated as ordinary business correspondence. They do not require a payment and they do not create a ticket order or a wagering account. Put Cookie policy in the opening line if you want the message routed as a storage question rather than a trial-class enquiry.
