Cookies and browser storage
We don’t use cookies. The tool keeps your plans and a few preferences in your own browser so your work is there when you come back. Here is every item, what it holds and how to remove it.
- No cookies Not ours and not anyone else’s. Nothing to accept or decline.
- Only what you use Storage is written only when you use a feature that needs it.
- Never sent to us Browser storage stays on your device; it isn’t sent with requests.
- Yours to clear Delete plans in My plans, or clear the site’s data at any time.
What the site keeps in your browser
Unlike cookies, browser storage is never sent to a server with your requests. It works only on the device and browser where it was saved. These are all the items the site uses:
| Name | Type | What it holds | Written when |
|---|---|---|---|
seatingchartgenerator (plans) | IndexedDB | Your seating plans: names, tables, rules, notes and recent seating history | You make or change a plan |
seatingchartgenerator (meta) | IndexedDB | Which plan you had open last, so it reopens | You open a plan |
theme | Local storage | Light or dark, if you chose one with the theme button | You press the theme button |
scg-guide | Local storage | Which first-use tips you have seen or closed | You use the editor |
scg-random-groups | Local storage | The names and settings in the random group generator, for next time | You make groups |
Everything stays until you delete it. Nothing expires on its own, so your plans are still there next month.
