Sign-in cookie
The academy_refresh cookie is used to refresh your sign-in session. It is an HttpOnly cookie that JavaScript cannot read. In the standard server configuration it lasts 30 days, and the current session is revoked when you sign out.
Local storage
When you are signed in, course and roadmap progress, interview question status, saved questions, profile details, and code drafts are synchronized with your account. Browser storage is used for temporary copies and changes that have not reached the server yet. The page shows a notice if synchronization fails.
Google Analytics cookies
Google Analytics may use _ga and _ga_* cookies to distinguish browsers and measure sessions. You can block these cookies or remove them through your browser settings.
Analytics identifier
The academy.analytics.visitor local storage key stores a random identifier used to count visits from the same browser. The name of a signed-out visitor is not known. A new identifier is created when you sign out or change accounts.
Your choices
You can block cookies or delete site data in your browser settings. This may sign you out and may remove changes that have not synchronized yet. Data already saved to your account is not deleted. The open course presentation and sample lesson do not require an account.
