<div class="info-section"> |

<h3>Local Unread Tracking (Tier 1)</h3> |
| 21 |
<ul> |
| 22 |
<li>Stores thread reply counts in your browser's localStorage</li> |
| 23 |
<li>Compares counts on each page load to highlight threads with new posts</li> |
| 24 |
<li>Data never leaves your browser — no server requests, no cookies</li> |
| 25 |
<li>Maximum 1,000 threads tracked; oldest entries are automatically pruned</li> |
| 26 |
<li>You can disable this entirely from the <a href="/tracked">Tracked Threads</a> page</li> |
| 27 |
</ul> |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
<h3>Server-Side Thread Tracking (Tier 2)</h3> |
| 30 |
<ul> |
| 31 |
<li>Opt-in per thread — you choose which threads to track</li> |
| 32 |
<li>Stores your last-read position so you can see unread post counts</li> |
| 33 |
<li>You can stop tracking individual threads or all threads at once</li> |
| 34 |
<li>Data is deleted when you stop tracking</li> |
| 35 |
</ul> |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
<h3>What We Do Not Do</h3> |
| 38 |
<ul> |
| 39 |
<li>No third-party analytics or tracking scripts</li> |
| 40 |
<li>No advertising or ad-related tracking</li> |
| 41 |
<li>No fingerprinting or cross-site tracking</li> |
| 42 |
<li>No tracking pixels or beacons</li> |
| 43 |
<li>The only cookie is your login session (required for authentication)</li> |
| 44 |
</ul> |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
<h3>Draft Auto-Save</h3> |
| 47 |
<ul> |
| 48 |
<li>Reply and new-thread drafts are saved to your browser's localStorage</li> |
| 49 |
<li>Drafts expire after 7 days and are limited to 20 entries</li> |
| 50 |
<li>Disabling local unread tracking also disables draft auto-save</li> |
| 51 |
</ul> |
