Cookies are stored in the user's sugar profile directory. It is persistent between usages

As for your other comments, they are 100% dependent on the user's or deployment's configured server.

On socialhelp.sl.o (the default server):

* We use discourse, and email and accounts are very central to discourse. Discourse is a very good piece of software and I suppose this is a compromise I am willing to make.

* Accounts could be pre-created by deployments or kids could ask questions using a teachers account

* We have a very stock standard privacy policy <https://socialhelp.sugarlabs.org/privacy>, it is very simple to understand and I recommend reading it. It does have a bad policy on COPPA, which is an issue to fix.
