GWC-JS applications use cookies to secure the communication with the
Genero Application Server.
Using cookies in GWS-JS applications
You can use cookies in your applications if you save or exchange
some data that you want to persist between different runs of an application. For example, Web
applications that run on the same domain as your GAS and whose GWC cookie is set on the root path
(/) of the URL are able to retrieve cookies in later requests for an
application. When a request is made, the cookie is sent back from browsers to the GAS where it is
recognized.
The GWC-JS uses local storage, which does not involve cookies, to store data specific to an
application after the browser is closed. This data is restricted for reuse to the application URI.
Note: Browsers generally need cookies
turned on.
