"Help improve this app by sending anonymous usage data." is not remembered and reappears on CTRL + F5

[Mikaela]

Describe the bug

The question "Help improve this app by sending anonymous usage data." appears every time I press CTRL+F5. I am not sure if this is the correct repository (but GitHub suggesting related issue #774 hints this is), I am using IPFS Companion.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to IPFS webui (for me http://[::1]:8082/ipfs/QmfQkD8pBSBCBxWEwFSu4XaDVSWK6bjnNuaWZjMyQbyDub/#/ )
2. There is a question "Help improve this app by sending anonymous usage data.", press OK or go to "More info" and give the permission.
3. Return to the index and/or press CTRL + F5
4. See the question return. This also happens by itself at times when revisiting the webui, but CTRL + F5 seems the easiest way to reproduce it.

Expected behavior

I see the prompt to share anonymous usage data only once.

Screenshots

I think it's N/A, but please feel free to ask.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Debian testing (Buster/10)
• Browser: Firefox
• Version: 67.0b6 (20190328152334)

Additional context

I have Cookie Autodelete, but [::1] is whitelisted, so I don't think it should affect here. I have moved to [::1] from 127.0.0.1 by myself (see also ipfs/kubo#5905). I am running Syncthing on 8080, so I have changed the IPFS port.

Oh interesting! Web UI is currently using the browers IndexDB to keep a record of the list of consents that the user grants. I took a quick look at Cookie Autodelete but I don't see any references to it cleaning IndexDB records... do you know if anything in your set up might be deleting that? For reference, in Firefox I see the following entry in the inspector > Storage > Index DB > bundle-cache > bundle-cache

If something is deleting that DB then that would explain why the ask keeps showing up, as we dont track anything if we find no record of user consent.

I seem to have localstorage cleaning enabled in Cookie Autodelete, but it shouldn't affect as ::1 is in whitelist and I cannot find the analytics key, bundle-cache seems to be empty.

When I go to https://webui.ipfs.io/ and click the OK, I see analytics getting created. My CAD whitelist also has *.ipfs.io.

Looks fixed?
