These items are saved in your browser’s local storage. They’re needed for the features you use, stay on your device, and are never used to track you:
- Light, dark or system appearance, if you choose one.
- The maps app you prefer for directions.
- That you’ve seen the welcome, so it only shows on your first visit.
- That you closed the “See what’s closest” card, so it stays hidden.
- Whether you read nygrid in English or the local language.
- The last few shops you opened, so they show under Recents. Never sent anywhere.
- A random identifier the map library uses to count map loads for billing.
- Keeps you signed in to your Filter account on this device. It is a database in your browser’s IndexedDB, made by Google’s Firebase Authentication, and only exists once you’ve signed in.
- That you’ve signed in here before, so the site restores your session when you come back instead of waiting until you open your account.
- The email address a sign-in link was sent to, so opening the link finishes signing you in. Removed once you’re signed in.
- What to finish when you open the sign-in link: a shop you were saving, or deleting your account. Removed afterwards.
When you sign in with Google, the sign-in window comes from Google’s Firebase Authentication (login.nygrid.coffee), which may keep its own data in your browser to finish signing you in. That data belongs to Google, not to us, and the site loads it only when you sign in or come back signed in.
