#### 19.5.4 Choosing whether to use cookies for OmniHelp

To determine whether users can pick up where they left off in a previous session:

    [OmniHelpOptions]
    ; PersistSettings = Yes (default, OH settings persist after closing,
    ;  for the next time the project is re-opened),
    ;  or No (keep during session only)
    PersistSettings=Yes

Cookies persist for a year

When PersistSettings=Yes, the last OmniHelp settings in effect when you exited OmniHelp are stored by the browser as cookies that persist for one year. The next time you open OmniHelp, the same page appears in the same position.

Delete cookies to reset this option

When PersistSettings=No, the cookies have no expiration date, which the browser takes to mean “expire at end of session”. However, in the presence of cookies with later expiration dates, older cookies do not get replaced by the newer, but stay in effect. This means that once you have opened OmniHelp with PersistSettings=Yes, you cannot make the settings desist for a period of one year, except by deleting the cookies.
