Understanding Noibu Storage Keys
Last updated: November 10, 2026
This article lists each storage key used by the Noibu script with its type, purpose, and suggested category (Performance or Analytics) so you can add them to your consent banner (OneTrust, Cookiebot, Shopify's customer privacy banner, etc.).
Note: Noibu doesn't set cookies. It uses browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) to operate its monitoring script, and none of these entries contain personal data.
How Noibu uses browser storage
All entries are functional or analytics storage needed to operate Noibu's monitoring script. None contain personal data such as names, emails, or payment details.
Each key uses one of two types of browser storage:
Local = localStorage (persists across browser sessions).
Session = sessionStorage (cleared when the tab closes).
Each key has a category (Performance or Analytics) that you can map to the matching category in your banner:
Performance keys keep the Noibu script running reliably.
Analytics keys track sessions, pages and navigation.

Storage keys
Key | Type | Category | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local | Analytics | Identifies the browser and tracks basic visit status (opted-out state, visit count, last active time). |
| Local | Analytics | Identifies the current browsing session. Expires automatically. |
| Local | Performance | Internal flag used to reset the browser identity data above when needed. |
| Local | Analytics | Temporarily holds page activity data so it isn't lost if the page closes before it's sent. |
| Session | Performance | Shares session/page attributes with another Noibu component running on the same page. |
| Local | Performance | Remembers which e-commerce platform the site runs on. |
| Local | Performance | Prevents duplicate requests when a support/live-view session is requested. Expires after 2 minutes. |
| Session | Analytics | Identifies the current browser tab. |
| Session | Analytics | Tracks the current page URL for referrer/navigation history. |
| Session | Analytics | Tracks the page's category for navigation history. |
| Session | Analytics | URL of the referring page. |
| Session | Analytics | Category of the referring page. |
Local = localStorage (persists across browser sessions). Session = sessionStorage (cleared when the tab closes).
Adding Noibu to your consent banner
Use the table above to list Noibu in your banner.
Add the keys manually. Noibu uses browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage), not cookies. Many banner scanners only detect cookies, so these keys may not show up in an automatic scan.
Map each key to the matching category in your banner. Use the Category column (Performance or Analytics) in the table above.
If your banner doesn't separate Performance and Analytics: both usually fit under your performance/analytics (non-essential) category.
Controlling when the Noibu script loads
Consent gating is set up on your side. Whether the Noibu script loads before or after consent depends on how you configure your banner and tag setup.
If you have questions about these storage keys, reach out to your Noibu contact or submit a ticket to support@noibu.com.
