AI chat storage
When you open the AI chat, session storage keeps a random conversation identifier and the displayed messages, separated by language and public page. This is not advertising storage. Private preview and log access use a secure, HTTP-only administrator cookie that expires after 24 hours; ordinary visitors do not receive this administrator cookie.
