What your browser stores
| Name | Type | What it's for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| ctc-toolbox-open | Local storage | Remembers whether you left the Toolbox on your dashboard open or closed, on this device only. | Until you clear it or your browser data |
| ctc-auth | Session storage | Keeps you signed in to your account. Set only when you sign in. If you tick “Keep me signed in on this device”, it’s kept in local storage instead. | Until you close the browser or sign out (with “Keep me signed in”: until you sign out) |
| ctc-keep-signed-in | Local storage | Remembers that you ticked “Keep me signed in on this device”. | Until you sign out |
| ctc-maps-ok | Local storage | Remembers that you pressed “Show the Google map” in the shop, so the map shows straight away next time. | Until you clear it |
| Google Maps | Google’s cookies | Only after you press “Show the Google map” in the shop. Google’s map then loads, and Google may set its own cookies. See Google’s privacy policy. | Set by Google |
| ctc-fb-… | Local and session storage | How many visits you’ve made, and when we last asked for feedback (or that you chose “Don’t show this again”), so the feedback card shows rarely. | Until you clear it |
| ctc-bug-log | Local storage | A short list of website errors seen in your browser, so problems can be checked. Never includes what you type into forms. | The last 60 errors |
| ctc-bug-sigs | Local storage | Stops the same error being reported more than once a day. | 24 hours per error |
At launch, signing in to your member account will use a strictly necessary cookie to keep you signed in securely. We'll list it here before then. If we ever want to use anything that isn't strictly necessary, we'll ask first and you can say no.
Our solicitor is confirming whether the error-report storage counts as strictly necessary. If it doesn't, we'll ask for your agreement before using it.
