Alan, I am with @mrkrndvs, ”technology can be used for good and bad purpose“. Even cookies/local storage handy to store state without DB. (This is a fascinating thread)

I agree, but with tech being good and bad, there’s no reason to make a list.
Cookies for saving states makes sense (could’ve been designed to be local only right?) different than being trackable.
Question might be, without them, what would we be unable to do ?
I think that is why I said “even”. I guess cookies lower the bar for saving state, could open that to folk without out £ or DB skills. Eg
johnjohnston.info/photoblitzer/
Uses local storage.
How weird to be defending, even sort of, cookies!
Ah, my quick reading mistake. I used local storage too for a project this year, it works great, cannot be read remotely, and is almost never used.
Heh, well a bit cheeky to shoehorn local with cookies;-). I am vague on the difference. Attitude & values might be more important than tech choice.
