As far as I know, they are not stored at all. They are generated on demand and then discarded. A new request for a report will generate a new report (which is quite important as changes made to the site to correct errors will be recognised).

The URI to generate a report is constructed using standard query string arguments, so the URL to generate a report for a particular page will be unchanging (and can be bookmarked, linked to, etc).
