Free tools and appearance

State Check-In and State Shift keep answers in this browser tab’s session storage. The 3 Bucket tool uses local storage until you reset it or clear website data. Appearance choices can also be remembered in local storage. These records are not synced to My GuideState.

Start Where You Are

Course notes and working progress are kept in this browser tab’s session storage. Download your workbook report before closing the tab. Optional account saving keeps only chapter position and review marks; it does not upload or restore your written answers. Course-to-tool links carry chapter and tab-return references, never workbook answers.

Optional My GuideState sign-in

Supabase authentication uses local storage under guidestate-member-auth-v1 to maintain your session, including the credentials needed to renew it. Sign out on shared devices. Clearing this website’s browser data removes this browser’s sign-in, not your account or saved records.

Pending article and section identifiers are treated as valid for 24 hours while you sign in. Expired pending records are discarded when checked; stored browser records can remain until you revisit or clear website data. If you actively request product updates during sign-in, a pending email and affirmative preference are treated as valid for 24 hours and may be recorded after verified sign-in. Dismissal and sign-out clear pending choices; expiry is checked when the site next reads them. See our privacy notice.

Hosting and email

No additional advertising pixels, analytics scripts or session recordings are installed in this public build. Namecheap processes requests to host and secure it. Optional review, book and free-course registration forms open with Brevo. Requested account sign-in emails are separate from review participation and other subscriptions.

Brevo form protection

When you open the Start Where You Are registration form hosted by Brevo, Google reCAPTCHA is loaded to help prevent automated submissions. Google may process device and browser information, interactions and cookies or similar storage. See Google’s privacy policy. These services are not loaded merely by reading a GuideState article or using a browser-local tool.

Your control

Use tool reset controls, sign out or clear website data through your browser. Copy or download anything you want to keep first. Blocking storage may prevent sign-in or tool continuity. Private browsing may remove browser records when the private session ends. See the Privacy Policy for account records and providers.
