    Saving settings on a page you don’t sign into (though you could make your app use local storage for this instead)

      To be fair, that has the exact same problems with tracking as cookies. You can still easily put tracking codes in there, and I’m sure some trackers do. So there isn’t really a benefit to using LocalStorage from a privacy perspective.

        I think Local Storage isn’t meant to be read server side, but that’s an easy line to cross if you’re determined.

          Nothing an AJAX request can’t “fix”.
