Cookies and Browser Storage
Last updated October 23, 2026
In short: the planner sets no cookies. It uses your browser's own storage for two things you ask for: remembering light or dark mode, and, only if you tick the box, remembering your work. Nothing is used for tracking or advertising.
Cookies
None. The planner does not set or read any cookies, and it uses no analytics or advertising tools that would.
Browser storage we use
| Name | What it is for | When it is set | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
theme (local storage) | Remembers light or dark mode. | When you press the Dark mode / Light mode button. | Until you clear site data. |
degreePlannerTerms (local storage) | Remembers that you agreed to the Terms, so the "Before you start" notice does not appear every visit. | When you press I agree and continue. | Until you press Start Over or clear site data. |
degreePlannerConsent (local storage) | Remembers that you ticked Remember my work on this device. | When you tick that box. | Until you untick it, press Start Over, or clear site data. |
degreePlannerAutosave.v1 (local storage) | Your entries, so the planner can restore them next visit. | Only while Remember my work on this device is ticked. | Until you untick it, press Start Over, or clear site data. |
degreePlannerScroll, degreePlannerRestored (session storage) | Keeps your place on the page after a button reloads it, and shows a one-time "Welcome back" message. | When you use a button that reloads the page. | Removed straight away or when you close the tab. |
This storage stays in your browser. It is never sent to the server by the browser on its own; your entries are sent only when you press a button, as described in the Privacy Policy.
The planner is open source, so you can confirm this list by reading the project's source code (opens in a new tab).
Consent
Remembering your light or dark mode is a setting you asked for by pressing the button. Saving your entries is off by default and happens only after you tick Remember my work on this device. You can untick it at any time.
How to remove it
- Press Start Over in the planner. This deletes the saved entries and your consent choice.
- Or clear this site's data in your browser settings.
