Cookies and local storage
Here is everything godrand.com stores in your browser. We count visits, but without cookies and without storing anything on your device (see the privacy policy). There are no cookies or storage for tracking, visitor statistics or advertising, and none from other companies. Everything below is only used for features on the site, which is why there is no cookie banner.
Cookies
The site only sets cookies when you log in. If you read without logging in, there are none.
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
__Secure-better-auth.session_token | Keeps you logged in. Cannot be read by JavaScript. | 7 days, extended while you use the site. Deleted when you log out. |
__Secure-better-auth.state | Protects login with Google against forged requests. | At most 5 minutes, only while you are logging in. |
The names start with __Secure-, because the cookies are only sent over an encrypted connection. On godrand.dk, the login cookie also applies to zero.godrand.dk, which synchronises your reading position; on godrand.com it is limited to this domain.
Local storage (localStorage)
Stored in your browser, and our server never reads them. When you change theme, text size or reading mode, the choice is counted anonymously in the visitor statistics.
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
godrand:theme | Your choice of light or dark theme. Only stored if you choose something other than System. | Until you delete it. |
godrand:font-scale | Your chosen text size in the chapters. | Until you delete it. |
godrand:reader-settings | Your reading choices in the chapters: scroll or pages, autoscroll speed, and whether you read in full screen. Only stored once you change something. | Until you delete it. |
godrand:reading-position:en | Which chapter you were reading in the English edition, how far you'd reached, and when, so the front page can send you back there. The map is Danish-only and does not read this key. | Until you delete it. |
profileId | Only when you're logged in: a random ID that the sync uses to keep track of its own local data in this browser. | Until you delete it. |
Local database (IndexedDB) and sessionStorage
Only when you're logged in. Used by the sync of your reading position between your devices.
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
rep:…, replicache-dbs-v0 | A local copy of your reading position, so it can be synced. | Until you delete it. |
_zeroReloadReason, _zeroReloadBackoffState | Only used if the sync needs to reload the page after a connection error, so it doesn't happen over and over. | Until you close the tab. |
How to delete them
You can delete everything above in your browser's settings, under cookies and site data for godrand.com. If you log out, the login cookie is deleted immediately.
