Usage of browser storage technologies

Technical Q&A
1

We know that we can not use third party cookies in the development of embedded Shopify apps. So we have the following question:

Can we use other browser storage technologies?, e.g.:

  • LocalStorage;
  • SessionStorage;
  • or IndexedDB.

As far as I am aware, LocalStorage, SessionStorage, and IndexedDB are not subject to the same restrictions as third-party cookies because they are client-side storage mechanisms that do not involve cross-site tracking or third-party domains. This makes them compliant with browser privacy policies. Therefore, you can use them when developing your app.

Of course, you could confirm this with Shopify Partner Support if needed, as they are very helpful.
