Cookie still active after uninstall?

    While setting up privacy compliance on a website, I came across a cookie which may have been left by this plugin after the plugin was uninstalled. It identifies as wpcode_scroll_position, which does not associate with any other plugin and it’s purpose is unknown. When all plugins are removed, this cookie stays active. Would someone from the dev team please let me know if this is indeed associated with this plugin?

    Hi @tgrblogger,

    WPCode does not add a cookie with the name “wpcode_scroll_position”, it adds a localStorage item with that key that is used to restore the position of your code editor between refreshes after you save code when editing a snippet.

    This key is only set for the user(s) that can access the admin and edit WPCode snippets and it doesn’t contain any sensitive data – just some values from the code editor regarding the position of the editor.

    localStorage data is only in your browser and it can be deleted from your browser safely, I have made a note to clean up that data when the plugin is deactivated to avoid such confusion in the future.
