[BUG] Using back button on web browser logs me out #250

🐛 Bug Report

This is in the Firefox browser, maybe others.

If I am playing AI Dungeon, and I accidentally click the "back" button in the web browser, which happens to be right above and next to the similarly shaped left-arrow button at the upper left corner of the webpage (for going up a level, e.g. exiting the current story and looking at top-level menus), then AI Dungeon suddenly goes back to the opening page, and completely forgets who I am and that I have previously logged in. I then have to log in again and find my story in the saved stories list. This is very jarring when I am in the middle of a story, and it sometimes happens frequently when I am investigating the "new stories" list and have looked at a story and then want to go back to the list. Due to muscle memory, it is very easy to accidentally click the wrong left-pointing arrow.

Please use a cookie to remember who the current logged-in user is, so that I can use the web browser's back button and then the forward button and then be looking at the same story I was before, without having to log in again. Logging out should require an explicit menu option choice (as it does for most websites), not just clicking the back button.

Sorry, I misremembered the app's back button as being a left arrow. It is sometimes actually an "X", and a "<" other times. Still, the same problem exists.
