Cookies are returned to the server, then back to the client.
I do not think we should use them when not needed, here it is only needed client-side, and can be replaced with local storage.
Also, privacy, useless data going through the network, etc.
I've been thinking about this lately, and the only issue I can think of relates to shared devices. In the case of the staff interface, you can have shared circ terminals, although it's probably not a drama. I'm thinking more about public OPAC terminals at libraries. If a user closes the browser, I don't think the local storage gets cleared. HTML5 session storage might work although I think its scoping differs a fair bit from session cookies. I suppose it'll differ on a case by case basis... Anyway, I think it would be interesting to take advantage of local storage and session storage more often for sure. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
