The browser storage and cookies used by Othalon, and how to control them.
Last updated: 2026-09-16
What is stored in the browser
Cookies and localStorage are small browser-side records. The table below is an inventory of this plugin plus known WordPress core names, not proof that every IONOS/theme/other-plugin cookie has been audited. A clean-browser network audit is required before launch.
Categories currently observed
WordPress authentication/session/security cookies are technical. Othalon language is a first-party preference set when you choose a language; the visual Pro-plan preference is localStorage. This plugin contains no analytics, advertising pixel, marketing tracker or non-essential embedded content. The public pages sampled did not return Set-Cookie before interaction.
Choice and future trackers
Cookie Settings below lets you remove language and plan-display preferences. Because no consent-requiring tracker is installed by this plugin, a fake Accept all/Reject banner is not shown. If a tracker is added, it must default off and this inventory, policy and consent interface must be updated before it runs. Closing a future banner must never mean consent.

Analytics and marketing rows are absent because this plugin currently loads neither category. Host and other-plugin inventory must be completed before launch.
Cookie Settings
Necessary WordPress login cookies cannot be disabled while you use an account. You can clear the Othalon language cookie and local Pro plan preference below; no analytics or marketing category is currently loaded by this plugin.
