feat(browser): memory-only persistence mode - #1487
Conversation
`privacy.persistence: "memory"` keeps every SDK state in memory: no cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB, and no visitor id. The flag is page-global and only tightens, like consent. Cookie deletion now expires every parent domain instead of probing, so an opt-out never writes a cookie and also clears ids written under a broader scope.

Purge identifiers when memory persistence is activated.
configurePersistence("memory") only sets a global flag. Both SDKs purge visitor state only from startRuntime; the browser path can skip that call while consent is withheld, and the Effect path can return early when readSessionSink() is set. Existing visitor and visit cookies can therefore remain. Purge after configuring the cookie scope whenever mayUseStorage() is false.
🐛 Suggested fix
-import { configureVisitorCookie } from "./visitor"
+import { configureVisitorCookie, setVisitorTracking } from "./visitor"
...
configureVisitorCookie({
crossSubdomainCookie: options?.crossSubdomainCookie,
cookieDomain: options?.cookieDomain,
})
+ if (!mayUseStorage()) setVisitorTracking(false)🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Stop existing offline queues when memory mode wins.
If a browser-mode SDK creates an offline queue before another SDK enables memory mode, this check has already passed. That queue can still write batches to IndexedDB and resend them through add and drain. This violates the page-global memory-only rule. Check the flag before asynchronous queue operations, and stop or close existing queues when the mode tightens.

What
Adds
privacy.persistence: "memory"to the browser SDK and the Effect client SDK, for sites that must not store anything on the device:With it on, nothing is written to cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB:
The flag lives on
globalThisand only tightens, like consent: if two SDK copies on a page disagree, memory-only wins.Also
deleteRawCookienow expires the cookie host-only plus on every parent domain, instead of probing for the cookie domain first. Probing writes a cookie, which a memory-only opt-out must not do. This also clears ids written under a broader scope than the current one.Tradeoffs (documented)
A reload starts a new session and a new replay. Unique, new and returning visitors are not counted. Single-page apps keep one session across client-side navigation.
