+CMP0126
+-------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.21
+
+The :command:`set(CACHE)` does not remove a normal variable of the same name.
+
+Starting with CMake 3.21, the :command:`set(CACHE)` does not remove, in the
+current scope, any normal variable with the same name.
+
+The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to have the :command:`set(CACHE)`
+command removing the normal variable of the same name, if any. The ``NEW``
+behavior for this policy is to keep the normal variable of the same name.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.21. Use the
+:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
+Unlike many policies, CMake version |release| does *not* warn when the policy
+is not set and simply uses ``OLD`` behavior.
