Are you storing a shadow browser history in localStorage?

I would imagine it's either that or they're somehow querying localStorage for the existence of any data for a given domain to indicate that you've been there before (which obviously wouldn't work for sites that don't use localStorage).

We keep just the FQDN for sites that you "unlock". If you don't click unlock, nothing is stored.
