Why people use cookies when you can use local storage and session storage?

Yes but if you need store data from user on the server why don't use a database?

.

@LuxARTS you're not using the cookies as a database (especially because they can't be queried)

database is server side permament (except if you make a sysadmin mad) data storage, cookies are to be used for session id, temporary things

local storage is to be used for things like having offline stored entries for an app that should work offline too and then sync up to online if there's something added.

@devTea happy 12k milestone, I have avatars blocked but here's your screenshot to keep

@JoshBent Thanks :D

@JoshBent Good point, thanks!

Wrong tag everywhere.

@devTea Oh, I remember when you were just a blue circle... And look at you, now! An entire blue background! They grow up so fast...

@Jilano 😂

Also because session tokens should be a HTTP cookie only. It's simply more secure, otherwise it's one XSS and you're done.

I don't care. I just want a cookie.

& the fact that Cookies work on older browsers (:
