Browser Local Storage

This website stores three pieces of information in Local Storage, (which operates similarly to cookies), to store your favourites.

The value 'MyFavs' is a list of your selected favourites (if removed your selected favourites will be lost), the value 'FavStatus' tracks whether you have favourites being highlighted between pages and browser closures (if removed, favourite highlighting will be switched off), the value 'Email' will only be present if you have used the Store Favourites feature and holds the last Email address you stored favourites with in order to make future saves easier (if removed you will need to remember your email address in order to store or retrieve favourites from the MySQL database).

'FavStatus' will exist even if not used and will hold a default (non-personalised) values. 'MyFavs' will exist once any of the hearts are selected, 'Email' will exist only if the opt-in Store Favourites feature is used.

If you wish to opt-out of any data storage please use the Clear Favourites feature with the same Email address and this will clear any information stored in both Local Storage and the MySQL database.

MySQL database

If you use our opt-in Store Favourites feature, your e-mail address and favourites list will be stored in a secure MySQL database, the sole purpose of this is to act as a central point between any browsers or devices you wish to use.

If you wish to opt-out of any data storage please use the Clear Favourites feature with the same Email address and this will clear any information stored in both Local Storage and the MySQL database.

Data Removal

All opt-in data stored in the MySQL database will be removed during the afternoon of the 16th September 2022 after the conference has finished. Data stored in Local Storage can be cleared by clearing your browsers cache.
