Local storage

In addition to cookies, the app stores some preferences in the browser's local storage. They don't leave your device and are not sent to the server.

• vte_reader_tweaksbrowser localStorage

  Stores your reading preferences (light/dark theme, text scale, accent colour). Only affects how the reader looks.

How to delete them

Any modern browser lets you delete cookies and local storage from its preferences or with “Clear site data”. If you do this, you'll lose your session and reading preferences, but your reflections and saved items (which live on the server) remain intact if you sign in again.
