Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work — or work more efficiently — and to provide information to the site owner.
Cookies cannot harm your device. They cannot carry viruses or install malware. They simply store small pieces of information that help the website remember who you are and what you were doing.

Your session cookie. It identifies your browser during a visit so the site remembers your login status and navigation state. Without this cookie, the site would treat you as a new visitor on every page load. | Session (deleted when you close your browser) | |
xpd_cookie_consent |

“Remember Me” token for logged-in members. Set only when you check “Remember me” on the login form. Without it, you would need to log in again every time you close your browser. | 30 days | |
xpd-torah-mode |
Remembers your display mode choice (Verse-by-Verse, Inline, or Reading) when viewing Torah passages. | Persistent (stored in localStorage) |
