To retain your preferences, ensure that you save your settings in the application or system you are using. Look for options like 'Save Settings' or 'Apply Changes' to make sure your preferences are stored. Additionally, check if there is an option to create a user profile or account, as this can help in retaining your preferences across different sessions or devices.
