Cookies and browser storage
Version 1.0 · in effect 30 July 2026
The short version
LLMap sets no cookies of its own. What it keeps lives in your browser's local and session storage, which stays on your device and is not attached to requests the way a cookie is. Analytics are off until you allow them, and if you never do, nothing on this page beyond the first four rows ever exists.
Your choice
Checking…
Turning them off stops any further events immediately. It cannot undo events already sent while they were on, which is why we ask before starting rather than after.
What the site stores by itself
These four are needed for the site to remember what you chose. None is used to track you, none leaves your browser except the chat key, and clearing your browser data removes all of them.
| Key | What it is for | Kept |
|---|---|---|
llmap:hardware | The machine you told the fit checker about, so every page can answer "will this run on mine" without asking again. | Local storage, until you clear it |
llmap:view:models | Whether you prefer the model list as cards or rows. | Local storage, until you clear it |
theme | Light or dark, when you have overridden your system setting. | Local storage, until you clear it |
llmap:consent:v1 | Your answer to the analytics question, with the date. We ask again after twelve months, because a decision made once is not a decision made forever. | Local storage, 12 months |
llmap:chat-session | The id and secret key for your current conversation with the assistant, plus the messages so far, so that walking to a model page and back does not lose your thread. Session storage, so it goes when you close the tab. | Session storage, until the tab closes |
Analytics, only if you allow them
If you press "Allow analytics", we load PostHog and it sets the storage below. Until then the library is not even downloaded — declining does not mean a silenced tracker sits in your browser, it means there is no tracker.
We use it to count page views and measure how fast pages load. Autocapture and session recording are both switched off, so it does not record your clicks, your typing, or a replay of your visit.
| Key | What it is for | Kept |
|---|---|---|
ph_*_posthog | PostHog's own record of an anonymous visitor id and the current session, so two page views in a row are not counted as two different people. | Cookie, up to 12 months |
PostHog runs on its European host (eu.i.posthog.com). Full detail on what we store server-side, and who else touches it, is in theprivacy policy.
Turning it off elsewhere
Your browser can block storage entirely, and the site is built to cope: if storage is unavailable we treat that as "no analytics", the banner simply returns next visit, and every page still works. You will lose the conveniences in the first table — the site will forget your machine and your theme — because those are the same mechanism.
