Does the code used to set cookies work differently on Webflow compared to localhost?

When it comes to setting cookies on Webflow compared to localhost, there is no difference in the code used. The process of setting cookies is based on browser functionality and not dependent on the hosting platform.

To set cookies in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

1. Determine the data you want to store in the cookie, such as a user's preferences or login status.
2. Use JavaScript to write the code for setting the cookie. You can do this by using the document.cookie property and assigning a value to it. For example:

document.cookie = "cookieName=cookieValue; expires=expiryDate; path=/";

• cookieName is the name of your cookie.
• cookieValue is the value you want to associate with the cookie.
• expiryDate is the date when the cookie should expire, specified in GMT format. If you don't set an expiration date, the cookie will be treated as a session cookie and will be deleted when the user closes the browser.
• path is an optional parameter that specifies the path on your website where the cookie will be accessible. Setting it to "/" makes the cookie accessible throughout the entire website.

1. You can also include additional options such as the domain property to make the cookie accessible across multiple subdomains.

document.cookie = "cookieName=cookieValue; expires=expiryDate; path=/; domain=yourdomain.com";

It's worth noting that when you're working with cookies, you need to consider privacy and security concerns. Ensure that you're compliant with relevant regulations, such as GDPR, and be cautious of storing any sensitive user information in cookies.

In summary, the code used to set cookies works the same way on Webflow as it does on localhost or any other hosting platform. It's a client-side process that utilizes browser capabilities, making the code independent of the hosting environment.
