• Security: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite attributes enabled

Firebase's cookie practices are governed by Google's privacy policy: firebase.google.com/support/privacy

5. Local Storage and Session Storage

This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to servers. You can clear it anytime via your browser settings.
