In short

Astro21 sets no cookies and runs no trackers. It keeps your sign-in and a few settings in your browser, listed below with how to remove each one.

1. What Astro21 keeps in your browser

Astro21 sets no cookies of its own and runs no advertising trackers. Its page-view and page-speed counting sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. It uses your browser’s local storage for the items below, and nothing else. Except the sign-in session, they stay on your device.

  • sb-…-auth-token

    What it holds
    Your sign-in session: access codes, your account ID and the phone number or email you sign in with. The middle of the name is our database project’s code.
    Why
    Keeps you signed in. It is sent to our servers with each request so we know it is you.
    How long
    Until you sign out. It renews itself while you use the app.
    How to remove it
    Sign out.
  • astro_theme

    What it holds
    “day” or “night”.
    Why
    Remembers the display you chose.
    How long
    Until you choose “Match phone” again.
    How to remove it
    Choose “Match phone” in More.
  • astro_language

    What it holds
    Your language, for example “hi” for Hindi.
    Why
    Shows Astro21 in your language, even before you sign in.
    How long
    Until you clear it.
    How to remove it
    Clear site data in your browser.
  • astro_current_place:v1:guest

    What it holds
    The current place you chose while signed out: its name, map position (rounded to about 1 km if it came from your device) and time zone.
    Why
    Hora, panchang and muhurat for where you are.
    How long
    Until you remove the place.
    How to remove it
    Clear site data in your browser, or choose “Use birth place” where it is shown.
  • astro_current_place_device:v1:<account ID>

    What it holds
    When signed in: a note that your saved current place came from this device’s location, with its rounded position and time zone.
    Why
    Stops the app suggesting a time-zone change you have already dealt with.
    How long
    Until you change or remove the place.
    How to remove it
    Choose another place, or clear site data.
  • astro21.match.v1

    What it holds
    Your Kundli Milan entries: both names, birth dates, times and places, and who is the groom or bride.
    Why
    So you do not have to type them again.
    How long
    Until you remove them.
    How to remove it
    Press “Clear both” on the matching form.
  • last_weekly_dl_<account ID> and last_monthly_dl_<account ID>

    What it holds
    The time you last printed your weekly or monthly reading.
    Why
    A record of printing on this device. It is not sent to us.
    How long
    Until you clear it.
    How to remove it
    Clear site data in your browser.
  • astro21.reloaded

    What it holds
    The time the app last reloaded itself to load a new version of Astro21.
    Why
    After an update, a page that was already open reloads once to get the new version; this stops it reloading again and again.
    How long
    Until the next such reload replaces it.
    How to remove it
    Clear site data in your browser.

Signing out removes only the sign-in session. The other items stay until you remove them as shown.

2. Storage by other services

  • Payment window. When you pay, our payment processor’s window opens on the page. It may set its own cookies or storage, for example to keep the payment secure and prevent fraud. Its own policy applies.
  • Fonts. The app’s fonts load from a web font service. That sets no cookies, but your browser sends the service your IP address and browser details.
  • Permissions. If you allow location or the microphone, your browser remembers that choice itself. Change it in your browser’s site settings.

4. How to clear everything

In your browser’s settings, find the site settings or site data for astro21.io and clear it. This signs you out and removes all the items above. Data saved with your account is not affected; to delete that, see Delete your account.
