cookie support in cordova official documentation

Question

I've read many question asking if there is support for cookies in cordova/phone gap, like the following

• PhoneGap/Cordova: How to get use cookies (iOS)? - answer to user localstorage
• Phonegap not propagating the session cookie - not answered, would be nice to know answer to point 1) and 2)
• http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/topics/authentication_session_cookies_in_android - from the community of phone gap: There is no direct Build support for this at the moment.

By a search with google I can't find out the documentation of cordova where it states if there is no support for cookies. Where should I look about it? one of the most significative link is this one Handling cookies in PhoneGap/Cordova in which we can read "

• In JavaScript cookies can be set with document.cookie = ..., but they are not saved in PhoneGap and lost. Before firing xhr requests it works.
• Cookies can be retrieved after xhr request with xhr.getResponseHeader('Set-Cookie'). But only when actually set on the server. Unfortunately, jQuery strips the "Cookie" header."

I don't want to know how to store such information, I understood and used local storage just for a test in my application but I want to understand if the support for cookies is stated to be provided or not in the official documentation of cordova since it seems I can not find it..

any clue is really appreciated.. thanks..

Answer 1

In the official documentation cookie support was never stated. Their reference in the Cordova JIRA item CB-8026 that in Android third-party cookies are enabled.

Currently there is work in the Cordova team (as of May 2015) to clarify that point in the documentation
