Why doesn't auth use Session Storage when persistSession is set to false?

I am currently attempting to figure out why reloading the page will log my user out. I implemented supabase like this:

export const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseAnonKey, {
  auth: {
    persistSession: false,
  }
});


and after logging in, I don't see anything in the Session Storage. If I refresh the page, it's as if I don't have an active session. Is this the intended effect or am I missing something here?
Was this page helpful?
