theme | Remembers your light, dark or system theme choice so the first paint already matches | One year |
sidebar_state | Remembers whether you collapsed the application sidebar | Seven days |

| Announcement dismissal | Remembers that you closed an announcement bar (local storage, not a cookie) | Until cleared |
These cookies are strictly necessary for the service or store a preference you set yourself, so no consent banner is shown for them. No advertising or third-party analytics cookies are set; the automated browser tests fail when a cookie appears that is not listed here. If analytics or any other non-essential cookie is ever added, this table must be updated first and consent collected where the law requires it.
