5 Storage Mechanisms, Browser Signals & GPC
-
Storage. The SDK writes a small first-party entry in
localStorage
to assist in identifying a browser.localStorage
persists until you clear site data or the browser purges it (behaviour varies by browser, private mode, or OS storage pressure).- We set no third-party cookies and no identifiers for cross-context advertising.
-
Global Privacy Control (GPC). Because OPJS is a security / fraud-prevention service that neither “sells” nor “shares” data for advertising, GPC signals do not alter our processing. Integrators remain responsible for ensuring they have a lawful basis to invoke OPJS; if their own obligations require honouring GPC, they must refrain from sending personal data to us when prohibited.
