[Windows] Firefox keeps random site data
[Windows] Firefox keeps random site data
I've enabled "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" but while all cookies gets deleted, some random site data does not. Are my settings wrong, is this a bug, and what even is that data?
Additional Info: I use RFP, want to keep browsing history and site settings. Thank you very much.
Sounds like it's localStorage. But I'd expect that to be covered by "site data" in that option.
It's a bit like cookies, but just for one site. Some think they can avoid cookie consent banners with localStorage.
Firefox has a page on the topic.
That could simply be the cookies.txt file with no content whatsoever.
What is the data it's keeping? 25-100 bytes doesn't seem like there's anything actually there.
8 bytes is enough to store 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 (18 quintillion) different values, more than enough space for a fingerprint ID. The size of the data shouldn't factor into the potential threat.
