# Apple implements 7-day cap on script-writable storage In February 2019, [Apple announced](https://webkit.org/blog/8613/intelligent-tracking-prevention-2-1/) that "Intelligent Tracking Prevention" (ITP) would cap the expiry of client-side cookies to seven days. As third-party scripts moved to other means of first-party storage such as LocalStorage, Apple decided to strengthen their policy to all script-writable storage. This change means that after seven days of Safari use without user interaction on a website, Apple will delete all script-writable storage, including first-party cookies and LocalStorage.\ \ Below are the script-writable storage forms affected (excluding some legacy website data types): * Indexed DB * LocalStorage * Media keys * SessionStorage * Service Worker registrations and cache ### Re-collect consent on websites The new policy will impact websites utilizing the Didomi CMP on websites. Since February 2019, Didomi has used LocalStorage to avoid the consent re-collection for a website.Now that all script-writable storage is deleted, a website will be forced to re-collect end-user consent if seven days have lapsed since the end-user's last interaction with the website. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
