Is there a native way in VL Web to set and get cookies or is this something I have to write a custom widget to do?

I don't think you can get to cookies directly but you can use Session and LocalStorage.

Hi Casey

Is there specific cookie functionality that you require?

As Joe said, LocalStorage (http://docs.lansa.com/14/en/lansa016/PR ... torage.htm) is now the recommended technique for storing user data on the client.

Regards

Thanks Joe and Stewart. We are replacing a WAM site that uses cookies to store a flag that a user has done something from that specific browser. It sounds like it is recommended to use local storage then, is that correct? If so, that is the solution I will pursue.
