My takeaway 1) cookies are small piece of data that contains small information. 2) And it is set by the server and sent to the client, the client has to include the cookies upon subsequent request. 3) the cookie returned is in string format. And we’ll like it in JSON so we use cookieparser middleware. 4) cookie-parser middleware is useful for parsing cookies. To JSON format.

Hi I do have a question about your video I saw complete express courses, and I also saw those individual topic-based courses. But the complete one is older than the individual section. So would u please tell me the difference on contents

[@ansonthedev]

There is no difference. This video is just a section of what you see in the 8 hour video. I decided to split up the 8 hour video into its own sections and put them in a playlist making it easier for those who just care about a specific topic rather than skim through the 8 hour video.

can i use localstorage instead of cookie?

[@ansonthedev]

yes, but browser does not send stuff from local storage automatically even when withCredentials is set to true. You will need to manually send the data from local storage to the server.

Umm... I have a question: cookies will be deprecated and turned off in the Q2-Q3 of 2024 by Google, so can you use something else except them?

[@ansonthedev]

Local Storage with JWT.

[@three-zeros]

@@ansonthedev oh, got you

[@abdul.rawi215]

as far as i understood google will only be removing third party cookies which means cookies created and accessed by the same website will still be there
