Hi Elena,

The preferences are stored on a DB that is linked to the application which is running your widget (The application is actually the site who is hosting the widget).

They are stored as long as the instance of the widget exists in the site.

Once the instance is removed from site, the preferences are removed as well.

Best,

Thanks a lot.Can one actually see the link between the app corresponding to the widget and the DB in the cockpit?

Hi,

There is no link between a widget <--> DB schema.

The link is between the DB schema and the application (aka site) who is hosting the widget.
