Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device through your browser. They are commonly used to remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and track usage.
Local storage (localStorage) and session storage (sessionStorage) are browser-based storage mechanisms that allow websites to store data on your device. Unlike cookies, this data is not sent to the server with every request. Session storage is cleared when you close the browser tab; local storage persists until explicitly cleared.
gridmap primarily uses localStorage and sessionStorage rather than traditional cookies for its core functionality.
We use localStorage to store the following data on your device:
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| auth | Keeps you signed in to your account | Until you sign out or clear browser data |
| sidebar-wide | Remembers whether you widened the sidebar | Until cleared |
| userPreferences | Remembers your preferred view mode (Simple or Tech) | Until cleared |
| mode-watcher-mode | Remembers your light, dark or system theme preference | Until cleared |
| gridmap_last_seen_version | Remembers which release notes you have seen, so "What's new" shows once per release | Until cleared |
| gridmap-currency | Remembers whether the pricing page shows SEK or EUR | Until cleared |
| cookie-consent | Records that you have acknowledged this policy | Until cleared |
We use sessionStorage for:
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sso_state, sso_tenant, sso_provider | Temporary state used while you sign in with SSO (the OAuth2 state parameter, your organisation and the provider) | Cleared when tab is closed |
SvelteKit, the framework gridmap is built on, may set minimal technical cookies required for routing and server-side rendering. These are strictly necessary for the Service to function and do not track you.
gridmap does not use any of the following:
You can manage or clear localStorage and sessionStorage through your browser's settings or developer tools:
Note: Clearing localStorage will sign you out of gridmap and reset your preferences (sidebar width, view mode, theme). You will need to sign in again.
We may update this Cookie & Local Storage Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the Service.
