I'd be tempted to nuance that:
[ ] Cookies - stored locally and sent to web-sites automatically
[ ] Local Storage - not automatically sent to web-sites
In all cases I veer towards sharing explicit details. If users choose to not understand it fully that is fine. I don't like 'dumbing-down' or simplifying taking away explicit details with no easy way to get it in the same place as the 'simple' exposition.
- potatoz2 4y agoThat’s a distinction without a difference IMHO. Local storage (or Cache API, IndexedDB) + Service Worker = Cookies (simply add a header to every request) Local storage + DOM manipulation to add search params with the stored content = Cookies (apart from first navigation) And on the flip side Cookies set using JS + Ignore cookies server side = Local storage It’s almost like the object/closure equivalence.
