Remembering the visitor’s choice

1 min readUpdated November 9, 2026

Go to Settings โ†’ Language Switcher โ†’ Advanced โ†’ Remember the visitor’s choice.

Remember the chosen language (on by default). When a visitor picks a language in the switcher, it is saved in a cookie named cls_lang_choice. While the cookie is there, country and browser suggestions do not show again.

Remember for (default 365 days, 1 to 3650). How long the cookie lasts. Also how long a closed banner stays closed.

Remember the visitor's choice card with the switch on and 365 days

Good to know:

  • Closing a banner is always remembered, even with the switch off. Otherwise the banner would come back on every page.
  • With a Redirect option on, the choice is always remembered. Otherwise a visitor who switches language would be sent straight back.
  • The cookie holds only the language code, for example fr. It is a functional cookie: it contains no personal data and is not used for tracking.
Note

To test detection again on your own browser, delete the cls_lang_choice cookie for your site, or use a private window.
