Cookies & Local Storage

How browser storage is used

Last updated: September 2026

Current use

HappeningToo currently uses browser local storage for a functional purpose: remembering an anonymous browser identifier used by the voting system.

Local storage key

happeningtoo-user-id

Why it is used

The anonymous identifier helps HappeningToo remember the current vote from a browser on a specific problem and helps reduce repeated duplicate voting from that same browser.

Advertising and analytics cookies

HappeningToo does not currently intentionally place advertising cookies or third-party analytics cookies.

Future changes

If HappeningToo later adds advertising, analytics, personalization, or other optional tracking technology, this page will be updated and any legally required consent controls will be added before those technologies are used where consent is required.

Clearing local storage

You can remove HappeningToo's local storage through your browser's site-data or privacy settings. Doing so may cause the site to treat your browser as a new anonymous visitor for voting purposes.
