All of them are first-party (set by coinbriefdaily.com only). Those that matter for security are HttpOnly and Secure, so other scripts can’t read them.

- Stories you opened and questions you asked Ask AI (History).
- Your ticks in guides and checklists.
- Which sidebar sections you left open, and whether the Ask AI panel is open.
You can clear these in History, or by clearing your browser’s site data. When you sign in, your history and ticks can also be kept on your account; signing out removes them from this browser.
Payments
When you donate or buy a Teams plan you go to Stripe’s own checkout page, which sets its own cookies to process the payment and prevent fraud. See Stripe’s cookie policy.
