Local storage data remains on your device until explicitly cleared by you or by the application (e.g., on logout).

You can control and manage cookies in the following ways:

- Logout: Logging out of the Platform clears your authentication tokens from local storage.
- Clear Local Storage: You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools (usually accessible via F12).
