Storage
What we store in your browser
Less than you are probably expecting. LADX sets one cookie, to keep you signed in, and uses your browser's local storage so Studio can keep your ladder program on your own machine. There is no advertising network here, no third party tracker, and nothing that follows you to other sites.
The short version
- One cookie, ladx_session, so that signing in sticks.
- Your Studio project stays in your browser and is never uploaded.
- Page views are counted on the server, as a number per page per day. No cookie, no address, no visitor id, so it cannot be traced to you.
- No third party analytics. If we ever add any, it stays off until you allow it.
- Rejecting optional storage genuinely works. It also means Studio cannot save your work between visits.
Strictly necessaryalways on
Needed for the site to work at all. Without these you cannot sign in, and we cannot remember that you answered this dialog.
| Name | Kind | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| ladx_session | Cookie | Keeps you signed in. Holds a random session id and nothing else. | 30 days, or until you sign out |
| ladx.consent | Local storage | Remembers the choice you make here, so you are not asked again. | 12 months |
Functionalyour choice
Keeps your work and your preferences in your own browser. Turning this off means Studio cannot save your ladder program between visits.
| Name | Kind | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| ladx.studio.* | Local storage | Your Studio project: rungs, tags and simulator state. Stored in your browser, never sent to us. | Until you clear it |
| ladx.studio.mode | Local storage | Whether you last used Studio docked or in focus mode. | Until you clear it |
Analyticsyour choice
Third party analytics, the kind that follows a visitor between sites. Nothing of the sort is running, and this category exists so that if it ever is, it stays off until you say otherwise. Separately, and not covered by this switch, the server counts how many times each page was read: a number per page per day, with no cookie, no address and no visitor id, which is why it cannot be turned off and also why it cannot identify you.
Nothing in this category is in use today.
Changing your mind
You can change these choices at any time, and turning a category off deletes what it covered rather than just stopping new writes. Withdrawing functional storage clears your saved Studio project from this browser, which cannot be undone.
Clearing it yourself
Everything on this page lives in your own browser, so your browser can remove all of it. Clearing site data for ladx.ai signs you out and deletes any saved Studio project. There is no server side copy of your Studio work to clear, because it was never sent to us.
