In addition to cookies, we use the browser's localStorage to store non-sensitive preferences such as sidebar state, board column widths, and notification read status. This data never leaves your device.
5. Third-Party Cookies
We do not use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) or advertising networks that set cookies. If you use OAuth sign-in (Google, GitHub), those providers may set their own cookies governed by their respective privacy policies.
6. Managing Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the Service to function. You can disable them in your browser settings, but doing so will prevent you from logging in.
Preference cookies can be cleared at any time via your browser settings without affecting your ability to use the Service; your preferences will simply reset to defaults.
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. See your browser's help documentation:
