Saving Editor-preference in a Cookie is a REALLY bad idea

  • zendodeb · Member ·

    I understand from searching the forum that you store my browser preference in a cookie. You have a preference data base (look under “settings” from any blog’s dashboard.

    Using cookies assumes that I always use the same computer. That I never use a public computer. And probably a few other things that you are assuming.

    Also, as far as I can tell, your “new and improved” editor doesn’t use the same cookie value as the old one.

    I have elected to keep your cookies around forever – for now. But I shouldn’t have to. You should store all of my settings under “settings: editor” and be done with it. Or have you never considered standards? (Why isn’t everything stored as a cookie?)

    Hi there,

    Thanks for that feedback! I’ll pass along your suggestion to save your editor preference in settings, so our team can consider that as an alternative to saving it as a cookie.
