Cookiejar

The Cookiejar App replaces the browser’s native cookie handling with a Webfuse-managed cookiejar. Instead of relying on the browser’s built-in cookiejar, Webfuse implements two complementary layers:

  • Server-side cookiejar - Handles both HTTPOnly cookies and JS-accessible cookies. HTTPOnly cookies are stored entirely on the server and never delivered to the browser, keeping them out of reach of client-side scripts. JS cookies are also persisted server-side to survive browser restarts and bypass per-domain browser storage limits.
  • Client-side cookiejar - Emulates browser-native cookie behaviour inside the Webfuse sandbox, so existing JavaScript code interacts with cookies exactly as it would with a native browser cookiejar.

Key benefits:

  • Larger storage capacity - Server-side storage bypasses browser per-domain cookie size limits.
  • Session persistence - Login state and preferences are preserved across browsing activities without cookies being evicted by the browser.
  • Enhanced security - HTTPOnly cookies are never exposed to the browser or JavaScript.

Enable the Cookiejar App in the Session Editor and toggle the Use Webfuse cookiejar instead of the browser cookiejar option.
