Actions: Read and Write Cookie

 

The Write Cookie action is for HTML5 publications only and allows you to explicitly use the Local Storage feature in HTML5 to record temporary information from the web page for the current user.

Although the information stored using this method is usually retained once the browser is closed, this may be contradicted by security settings in the browser or by the user manually clearing browsing data at a later date. It should not be relied on for permanent storage – use Post Web Data and a formal database on your webserver for this purpose.

The Read and Write Cookie actions provide an extension to Bookmark actions (which use the same system) – allowing you to restore iadditional nformation such as scores or text input from a previous visit for a specific user.
