I’ve noticed that there are quite a few technologyes for storing temporary session data(don’t know how it is corectly called. For example:
Cookies
jQuery.data()
html5 storage
Php sessions
And probably plenty of others too.
What is the safest and least dependant on browser settings(like disabled cookies) way of transfering temporary user data(like shopping cart information or some variable/array) between pages on a website?
Cookies seems pretty simple but the user can disable those and I would like to find a more reliable way if there is one. User registration is and “logging in” is not an option at the moment.
What are some other technologyes/methods for this purpose?
Server side storage.
Problem with jquery, cookies or html5 storage is that user can modify the data and that it can produce unexpected results depending on platform/browser/device combination user is running your code on.
