Use cookie for anonymous user ID instead of localStorage (!15912) · Merge requests · Warren Gifford / sourcegraph

Warren Gifford requested to merge user-id-cookie into main Nov 18, 2020

Created by: felixfbecker

Stores the anonymous user ID in a cookie instead of in localStorage so it can be read by subdomains (about.sourcegraph.com).

I looked into the new async cookiestore API but it is not supported yet by any other browser than Chrome and still a draft spec. Used a library though because I don't want us to deal with cookie strings.

Closes #11658 (closed)
