    Hi,

    Based on the GDPR, cookies / local storage are need to consent before use. I am using Cookiebot to help on this. On Cookiebot, they will need to categorize cookies / local storage into 4 major category:
    Necessary category represent the cookies which are needed in order your site to be fully functional and work as it should be.
    Preferences category is about the preferences cookies which are not strictly necessary and your website could work without them as well.
    Statistics category is used to store statistic cookies such as google analytics and store statistic data.
    Respectively marketing category is for cookies with marketing purposed, basically used for ads or youtube.
    Otherwise, those cookies will not be consent by the users and this is not valid under GDPR.

    Thus, I want to know more about the below cookies / local storage functionalities / description that the plugin is currently using. In order to identify those cookies / local storage category.

    1. 20#
    2. ecd_mode
    3. last_visit_#
    4. guest

    Could you please advise?

    Thanks,
    Joe

    Hello,
    Here are the responses:

    20 #: pagination value that stores the Editors preference of number of comments to display when loading GraphComment => Necessary

    ecd_mode: Editors Choice debate, keeps information that the moderator wants to permanently display editor options in GraphComment.=> Preferences

    last_visit_ #: used to display the differential of new comments posted since their last visit if the user returns to the page. => Necessary

    guest: allows you to store the declarative information of the guest mode (email / password) so that he does not have to type them again for each new comment.
    => Preferences

    All this info is stored in localstorage and we absolutely do not keep this info, it is purely technical for frontend display.
