Cookies - how to save/load cookies?

[voltov]

Hi!

Each time I reopen my app I have to re-login on a website. How do I save cookies?

Also is it possible to add/remove cookies programmatically?

[voltov]

GlobalCEFApp.PersistSessionCookies := True;

Found it =)

Hi,

Most of the times you can fix that problem by setting the GlobalCEFApp.cache and GlobalCEFApp.cookies properties before the GlobalCEFApp.StartMainProcess call.

GlobalCEFApp.PersistSessionCookies has a different purpose.

This is what the CEF code comments say about that setting :

Code: Select all

  ///
  // To persist session cookies (cookies without an expiry date or validity
  // interval) by default when using the global cookie manager set this value to
  // true (1). Session cookies are generally intended to be transient and most
  // Web browsers do not persist them. A |cache_path| value must also be
  // specified to enable this feature. Also configurable using the
  // "persist-session-cookies" command-line switch. Can be overridden for
  // individual CefRequestContext instances via the
  // CefRequestContextSettings.persist_session_cookies value.

how to delete cookies or cache while program is running?

The easiest way is by calling TChromium.DeleteCookies.

You can also get an interface of the cookie manager and call CookieManager.DeleteCookies

And you can also use the CookieVisitor demo code and set deleteCookie to True in the CookieVisitorProc for every cookie you want to delete.

As far as I know, there's no way to clear the cache while the program is running.

You can delete the contents of the cache directory before the GlobalCEFApp.StartMainProcess call or after the GlobalCEFApp.Free call.
Be careful and delete the directory in the main process only.
