Strictly necessary storage
The session cookie is required for the Service to work when you're signed in, so it doesn't need consent. Functional local-storage items only hold preferences you chose and are never sent to third parties.
Analytics
Product analytics events are recorded on our own servers against your account (see the privacy policy); they don't use third-party analytics cookies. If we ever add optional analytics cookies, we will ask for your consent first with a real choice to decline, and list them here.
Browser extension
The extension doesn't set cookies and doesn't have permission to read cookies. It stores its settings in extension storage.
Managing cookies
You can delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Deleting the session cookie signs you out. Blocking it prevents sign-in.
Changes
We will update this page and the date above if we change what we store.
