# Why does my browser ask for permission again?

Chrome and Edge let a website write into a folder only while you allow it, and they can take that permission back when the browser restarts. When a backup is due and the permission is gone, PrivacyNotes asks once, and one click on "Allow and back up" gives it back and runs the backup.

To stop the question, choose "Allow on every visit" when the browser asks. Firefox and Safari cannot write into a folder at all: there, [one click downloads the backup](https://privacynotes.app/help/automatic-backup-apps). The desktop app never asks.
