it clears cookie when it's reopend

[cs09g]

Hi,

I set cookies for the website and when it's refreshed, they stay very well. but when it's reopened, all cookies disappear.

the code for the cookie works on other browsers include mobile Safari, Chrome but Samsung internet.

• Surely, the setting for the cookie is enabled.
• code is written in ES6 and converted to ES5 with webpack+bable but the result is the same.

if it has alert on onload and the page is refreshed with current session, then the data is stayed when it's reopened. but when there's no alert then the data is cleared.

Hi @cs09g. Sorry for the slow reply. Is this in Secret Mode, or in the regular browsing mode? Could you share a test case that we could debug?

[cs09g]

Yeap, it's a bit late though. It happens with regular browsing mode. I asked to samsung browser cs team by email (browser.cs@samsung.com), attached the code sample which handles cookie, but unfortunately no responses yet.

that attached code is:

1. cookie handling functions

   /**
   * set cookie
   * @param {string} key
   * @param {string} value
   * @param {Object} options
   */
   setCookie: (key, value, options = {}) => {
   let option = options;
   let cookieString = `${key}=${value}`;
   
   if (option.expiration) {
       cookieString += `; expires=${option.expiration}`;
   }
   
   if (option.path) {
       cookieString += `; path=${option.path};`;
   }
   
   document.cookie = cookieString;
   }
   /**
   * return cookie
   * @param {string} key
   * @returns {string}
   */
   getCookie: (key) => {
   let cookies = document.cookie.split(/;\s+/);
   let value = "";
   let cookie;
   
   for (let i = 0, len = cookies.length; i < len; i++) {
       cookie = cookies[i].split("=");
       if (cookie[0] === key) {
           value = cookie[1];
           break;
       }
   }
   
   return value;
   }

2. part of setting cookie

   
   let expiration = new Date();
   expiration.setDate(expiration.getDate() + 5);

setCookie("Authorize", authString, { expiration: expiration.toUTCString(), path: "/" });

3. part of using cookie

$(() => { let authString = getCookie("Authorize"); // <= when alert added here, cookie stays. but without alert, cookie disppears. });

Code seems no problem as it works well with other browsers. weird thing is number 3. when I add alert to check cookie values, then reopen it, cookie stays. 

the test cases are:

- usual way
  1. create cookie
  2. refresh browser => cookie stays
  3. reopen browser => cookie disappears
- insert `alert` on `onload`
  1. create cookie
  2. refresh browser => cookie stays
  3. reopen browser => cookie disappears
- insert `alert` on `onload` 2
  1. create cookie
  2. refresh browser => cookie stays
  3. refresh brwoser again (to check alert message) **
  4. reopen browser => cookie stays **

when it has alert, refreshing more than 2 times, then it works as expected. guessing it's about some kind of timing issue.
