COOKIES & STORAGE.

What the website and Android app save, and how to clear it.

Last updated 9 October 2026

Essential website storage

The website saves sign-in session information in browser storage. Temporary entries return you to a rating or save action after sign-in. Temporary provider-connection context expires after ten minutes and is removed when the operation finishes or the next sign-in starts. It also stores dismissal of the storage notice and account-specific draft recovery. Draft recovery expires after 24 hours and is removed when next accessed. Clearing browser storage signs you out and may erase unfinished work.

Website live activity and analytics

When live activity is enabled, a random browser identifier lasts up to 24 hours and a 75-second tab lease helps count multiple tabs together. Member proofs stay in memory, expire after ten minutes, and clear on account changes. Vercel Web Analytics measures aggregate website usage without analytics cookies. The site does not use third-party advertising cookies.

Android storage

Native SQLite storage is not a browser cookie. Android uses an encrypted local database for private drafts and downloaded portfolio data, secure credential storage for sessions and encryption keys, and an image cache for thumbnails. Android drafts remain on this phone, expire 24 hours after the last edit, and clear on sign-out. Cache content is bounded and older public records expire after 24 hours. Public images can be cleared from Account. Draft images are stored inside the encrypted database rather than a permanent unencrypted image folder.

Your controls

Discard a draft from its form, sign out to clear private local work, or clear public cache from Account. Device settings can clear all app storage. Uninstalling or clearing storage can remove drafts, preferences, and login credentials. Google, Discord and Supabase use their own browser storage during system-browser sign-in; clearing Android app storage does not clear that browser's cookies. Payment providers may use browser storage when paid features are enabled on the website.
