Gamemaker HTML5 crashes with 403 when trying to load save file (only when on itch.io)

I've tested my game and it works fine when running in my own web server, but when on itch.io, it leads to a few 403 errors when loading a save file, which leads to a json parse exception. I've searched and I can't figure out what the problem is. The save file name is the same everywhere I use it, there's no casing issues, and I'm being sure to use a unique name. I'm just not sure what the issue is.


function save(_save_data) {

    var _sav = file_text_open_write(working_directory + "cowboy_shapeshiftin_save.json");

    file_text_write_string(_sav, json_stringify(_save_data));

    file_text_close(_sav);

}

function load() {

    if !file_exists(working_directory + "cowboy_shapeshiftin_save.json") {

        return -1;

    }

    var _sav = file_text_open_read(working_directory + "cowboy_shapeshiftin_save.json");

    var _json = file_text_read_string(_sav);

    var _save_data = json_parse(_json);

    file_text_close(_sav);

    return _save_data;

}
