I am using w3schools cookies functions in my project.
When I try this code in Firefox, document.cookie gives me ''
When I try this code in Edge, document.cookie gives me 'streak=0'
My question is:
Why does Firefox give me a empty string?
If this is specific to Firefox how can I workaround?
My workaround would be using localStorage.
Note: Snippet doesn't work because on stackoverflow because "The operation is insecure"
function setCookie(cname,cvalue,exdays) {
const d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays*24*60*60*1000));
let expires = "expires=" + d.toUTCString();
document.cookie = cname + "=" + cvalue + ";" + expires + ";path=/";
}
function getCookie(cname) {
let name = cname + "=";
let decodedCookie = decodeURIComponent(document.cookie);
let ca = decodedCookie.split(';');
for(let i = 0; i < ca.length; i++) {
let c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') {
c = c.substring(1);
}
if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
}
}
return "";
}
function checkCookie() {
let user = getCookie("streak");
if (user != "") {
//document.getElementById('streak').innerHTML = `Your streak: ${user}🔥`;
console.log(user);
} else {
setCookie('streak', '0', 1)
//document.getElementById('streak').innerHTML = `Your streak: 0🔥`;
console.log(user);
}
}
checkCookie('streak')The problem was that I had Strict protection in my Firefox which blocked the cookies.
I turned it off and it worked.
