## Details
|
|
|
|
This service uses browser [cookies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie)
|
|
to store data in the form of key-value pairs. An optional `expiration` date can be
|
|
supplied for the cookie and a `path` can be used to reduce the chances of name
|
|
clashes with cookies from other sources.
|
|
|
|
Cookies have a storage size limit that varies between browsers but is often around
|
|
4KB. Consider using [web storage](storage.service.md) if you need to store data
|
|
beyond this size.
