How to write and read a string into the cookie in Js mode? Is there a way to limit acceess to the string by others?

1. You have to use JavaScript code for that.
2. "by others" is a bit fuzzy. Other sites just cannot see your cookies. But a user can always see the cookies on his browser. At best, you can encrypt its content. Not foolproof for somebody motivated with some programming knowledge...

I guess my tone was not right... I assumed there was a different method in Processing(meant by "in Js mode") and meant to ask about its safety measures... But i tried document.cookies and it worked fine... Sorry for the inconvineince... @PhiLho could you close this discussion? Dont want it to be hangong around as unanswered...

• You've just issued a command which only exists in JS mode, breaking Java cross-mode compatibility!
• It's no big deal if your intention is to deploy to the web only though. :ar!
• Although in such cases I'd create a ".js" named tab to place JS only codes and call it from the ".pde" tab, just for organization's sake.
• Another option is to switch for p5*js framework, which is more JS centric than PJS'! *-:)

I rarely close threads not breaking rules.
I suggest to show a little bit of code illustrating your finding, and to accept your own answer! :-D

A complete description on all cookie function(Javascript) are found here. It works for Processing Js mode too... document.cookie is a String variable i guess.

document.cookie="text you want to save"

to write. To read use as here

println(document.cookie)

Now how do i accept my answer @PhiLho?
