When using an iPhone, iPad, or Mac(book), you may notice that certain user-specific settings — such as your default dashboard, the layout of modules, crop groups, or definitions — are not remembered as expected.

This behavior is related to Apple’s privacy policy and how its default browser, Safari, handles data storage. Safari imposes strict limits on how long certain types of data (such as cookies or local storage) can be retained.

In summary:

• Safari automatically deletes user data (such as sessions, preferences, or local settings) if you haven’t interacted with the website for more than 7 days.

• In some specific cases, cookies may expire after just 24 hours.

• While settings are retained with regular use, these limitations may occasionally require you to log in again or reconfigure your environment.

Safari is an exception among browsers — most others allow website owners to define how long settings remain valid.

Recommendation: Use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac(book) for a more consistent experience.
