Optional player diagnostics

Junction TV diagnostics are off by default. If you enable them, we record channel selections, player loads, detected progress, theater actions and errors. Report playback issue sends that report even when automatic diagnostics are off. Reports contain a random event identifier, channel, action and day, plus a daily keyed hash derived from the network address to limit abuse. The diagnostics table does not store the raw address, account email or page URL. Hosting providers may retain separate service logs.

Reports support a 30-day admin view. Older diagnostic rows are removed in batches as new reports arrive; cleanup is not a scheduled deletion guarantee. Your preference is stored on this device. Automatic reports respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Turning the checkbox off stops future automatic reports. These counts do not verify viewers or minutes watched.

Storage choices and durations

gj_preferred_town and gj_low_data remember a town and reading choice for up to six months. gj-device-preferences-v1 holds the town’s expiration; junction-town mirrors the selection and is ignored when it expires. Optional discussion drafts expire after seven days. Planner and quiz choices remain on the device until you clear them. Checkout recovery uses session storage to keep a retry attached to the same order.

gj-privacy-choices-v1 records optional analytics, network advertising and map choices for 180 days. gj-map-display-v1 remembers a map-only on/off choice for up to 180 days without consenting to analytics or advertising. Optional business metrics use daily session identifiers and hourly deduplication only after analytics consent. Consent is not required to read public pages or make a purchase.

Use the preference controls above to change analytics, advertising and maps, clear town/reading settings and discussion drafts. Browser settings can clear all site storage, including planners, quiz answers and checkout recovery; this may sign you out. Server-held orders and account records are not erased by clearing browser storage.

Essential and device storage

Sign-in and security functions may use cookies. Browser storage supports guest planner entries, quiz answers, checkout-attempt recovery and event deduplication. Clearing it can remove device-only information; account-synced records remain associated with your account.

Players, maps and external links

A TV player loads after you choose a channel. Profile music, video and publication players load when you choose to open their preview. Its provider may then use its own cookies, analytics or similar technologies. Maps, payment services, radio and linked business tools have their own processing and policies. Opening a provider link leaves the Junction.

Browser settings can restrict or clear cookies and storage. Some functions may stop working. Contact support if you need another way to access a page or complete a task.

Advertising consent: AdLuxe and Impact

AdLuxe frames and Impact affiliate creatives load only after you allow optional advertising through our cookie banner or Cookie choices. The same setting controls advertising throughout the site; there are no separate permissions in ad placements. AdLuxe delivery uses media.aso1.net inside an isolated frame. Impact banners use a.impactradius-go.com and provider image delivery domains; affiliate clicks use the advertiser’s sjv.io or pxf.io tracking link. The server retrieves eligible inventory through our publisher API without sending your account email to advertising providers. They may process device and network information using storage, measurement or fingerprinting. No claim is made that a provider fingerprinting flag alone prevents this processing.

The advertising choice lasts up to 180 days on this browser and is separate from maps and optional first-party analytics. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track override it. Turn it off in Cookie choices to remove frames and partner creatives and stop future loads. Approved AdLuxe zones request direct and programmatic network demand regardless of direct-assignment counts. Impact partner offers are also available in labeled native cards. An empty provider response is not proof of an impression. Affiliate placements earn commission on qualifying purchases and are not counted as paid AdLuxe impressions. Existing provider cookies may need to be cleared with browser controls.

CrownLytics and CrownPulse

When you allow optional analytics, public pages can load the verified Gretna CrownLytics pixel from crownlytics.com. It uses pseudonymous visitor and session identifiers in browser storage and receives the current page URL and network information while measuring visits; account portals, payment pages, private workspaces and the AI document desk are excluded. IP storage, query-parameter tracking, session replay, outbound-click collection, child-element events, email reports and public statistics are disabled in this property’s provider settings.

Turning analytics off removes the tracker on a page reload, which also stops its active scripts. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control override optional analytics. This does not erase records the provider already received. This choice also controls the verified Gretna CrownPulse pixel from crownpulse.com for onsite engagement. It can contact crownpulse.com and, when an approved notification exists, display it and measure its display or interaction. No fabricated visitor counts, sales or testimonials are supplied. ThrivePush web notifications are not activated; they still require a verified Gretna website registration and your separate browser notification permission.
