<p dir="auto">As for preferences, I'm happy keeping most preferences available for only logged in users, since account creation is free and we aim to serve our mappers (who by definition have accounts) more than just casual visitors. Storing preferences in cookies does have drawbacks (like cross-device consistency, automatic cookie expiry etc) so it's not my first choice in general.</p>
