Set Cache directory for WebView2
(3 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
Where does WebView2 store cookies on Win 10?
And is it possible to view them, delete them and whitelist them via the app using WebView2?
Any links to online documentation would be appreciated.
User data folder
WebView2 stores all state including cookies, localStorage, indexeddb and so on, in the user data folder. By default the user data folder is distinct for each host executable but you can change the user data folder. You can read more about managing user data folders in the WebView2 documentation.
Cookie API
You can use the WebView2.CoreWebView2.CookieManager to view, add, remove and so on cookies.

I am looking for a way to fill up an input field on an external website through a cookie or local storage. I have a button on my site that takes you to the external page which is a registration form. There is a number input field which must be populated from my page, but it's always the same number (fixed number). So i would like for my customers to have the number already filled in when they open the registration form instead of having to fill it in themselves.
I saw this being done in another website so i know it's possible but i don't have any experience with cookies or local storage to replicate it.
Assuming you have control of the other website as well, you could try the solution described here: Cross-Domain Cookies.
I haven't tried it myself.
I have a question regarding usage of cookies . Say my website saves a cookie into a user's computer after he logged for the first time. and then i will use this cookie to check if the user logged before using this computer. Can that user somehow copy that cookie from one computer to another?
To achieve your goal use EditThisCookie plug-in.
Sloane International Development: Hey guys I just want to know What Is a Persistent Cookie? as I have no idea about this
Please let me know
Persistent cookies – these files stay in one of your browser's subfolders until you delete them manually or your browser deletes them based on the duration period contained within the persistent cookie's file.
Session cookies - these are temporary cookie files, which are erased when you close your browser.
(to see the difference between the two types of Cookies).

And maybe you want to know what Cookies are/do:
Cookies are usually small text files, given ID tags that are stored on your computer's browser directory or program data subfolders. Cookies are created when you use your browser to visit a website that uses cookies to keep track of your movements within the site, help you resume where you left off, remember your registered login, theme selection, preferences, and other customization functions.The website stores a corresponding file(with same ID tag)to the one they set in your browser and in this file they can track and keep information on your movements within the site and any information you may have voluntarily given while visiting the website, such as email address.

How to set a cookie for another domain

How to create cookie of any website ?
Example: When visitors visit my website, my website will create cookie of some website (example: http://google.com, bing.com). Like when you access directly to these links.
My English is not good but I hope you understand me !
Thank you very much !
You cannot set a cookie for another domain. Being able to do such a thing would be a severe security flaw.
If you want to set a cookie from a domain other than the one being visited, then you need to include a javascript file or a cookie-setting image from the target domain that will set the cookie for you.

How set a website as homepage in IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari with C++?

how can i set the default homepage (in Firefox, Google chrome, ....) from my c++ application
like a user clicked a button on my application the homepage changing automatically.
any helping.
It's different for each browser. For example, this is how to do it in Firefox (in C#, but that's not really the point).
It would be far easier to ask users to do this on a thank-you web page after they download your program. They're already in the browser they normally use.
