Optional analytics
PostHog analytics are off by default. If enabled in Settings, StudySite keeps analytics identity and session state in memory rather than in persistent PostHog cookies or browser storage. You can withdraw consent at any time in Settings. After withdrawal, PostHog may retain a local opt-out marker so the browser continues to honor that choice.
Local browser storage
StudySite may store functional interface preferences and recoverable drafts in local browser storage. These values are used only inside StudySite, are not advertising identifiers, and can be cleared through your browser.
