What the site keeps in your browser
Some features keep small notes in your browser's own storage rather than in a cookie. They stay on your device, are not sent with every page, and you can remove them by clearing this site's data in your browser.
- hv_my_sky: your sign, and your birth details only if you said yes to saving them, so tools fill them in. "Forget my details" at the foot of every page removes it.
- hv_device_token: a random number that lets one-tap answers (check-ins, reactions, reports) count once per device.
- hv_visits: how many times this browser has visited, so the daily notification is only offered from the second visit.
- hv_daily_push: whether you turned on the daily notification, and for which sign.
- hv_community_member: after you confirm your email for Ask the Community, a signed code and your display name, so you do not need the email again on this device.
