Stored in your browser
Some choices are kept in your browser's own storage, not in a cookie, so the site remembers them on this device: your text size, the view you were last using, how you sorted the Library, a copy of your saved stories (so they appear straight away), whether you've seen the welcome card, the guided path you chose and how far along it you are, your answers to "Was this helpful?" (so you aren't asked twice about the same story), and for the home-screen tip on phones, whether you've closed it. Two small notes are kept only while the page is open (where you were in the Library, and which day to go back to) and disappear when you close it. They never leave your device except to be stored in your account, and signing out clears the saved stories copy.
If this changes
If we ever add anything that isn't strictly needed and stores something on your device, we'll update this page first, and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
