Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I am running 0.7.1.

After I dismiss the alert for my 2023 summary, when I log in again it shows.

I believe this preference is stored in your browsers local storage, is it possible that your browser is clearing site data when you close it?

That might explain it. I am not sure how it works, but when I open a private window and log in there to bookwyrm, it shows it again.

That is consistent with how local storage works -- private browsing uses a different session that doesn't contain your local storage. This isn't really a bug; it sounds like the site is working as expected, but it is totally janky for people like you who are clearing local storage much more frequently than most users. In theory, we could switch to using a database flag for this, but that is a lot more complicated than using local storage, and since this doesn't effect very many people and only for a month out of the year, I'm inclined towards leaving it as is.
