I have this code which sets a sessionStorage. It works fine but I would like to set an expiration date of 24 hours. Can I do this? I know this can be done with cookies but not sure with sessionStorage objets.
<script>
var pageViewed = parseInt("1");
if(sessionStorage.pageViewed)
{
var intSessionStoragePageViewed = parseInt(sessionStorage.pageViewed);
pageViewed = intSessionStoragePageViewed + 1;
sessionStorage.setItem("pageViewed", pageViewed);
}
else if(!sessionStorage.pageViewed)
{
sessionStorage.setItem("pageViewed", pageViewed);
}
</script>
localStorage and sessionStorage do not have built-in expiration dates like cookies do. sessionStorage is erased at the end of the browser session; localStorage is erased only when you or the end user explicitly erases it.
If you want locally stored data to expire after a specific duration, use cookies.
