nostore

Nostore is a term used in information technology to refer to the HTTP caching directive no-store. It indicates that a cache should not store any representation of the resource or the associated request and response.

The no-store directive is a strong caching control. Unlike no-cache, which requires revalidation with the origin server before a cached response can be reused, no-store forbids storing the response entirely. It applies to both private caches (such as a user’s device) and shared caches (such as intermediary proxies). It is commonly used for dynamic or sensitive content that must not be retained after the request completes.

Implementation typically involves HTTP response headers. The primary indicator is Cache-Control: no-store. For broader compatibility, some responses also include Pragma: no-cache (from HTTP/1.0) and Expires: 0. No-store is frequently employed for login pages, financial transactions, personal data, or content that changes rapidly and should not be recovered from cache.

Other uses of the term: Nostore may appear as a brand name, product, or project in various contexts, but there is no single, widely recognized organization or standard entity by that exact name. If seeking information about a specific Nostore entity, additional identifying details are needed to provide precise information.
