Handling Changing Data #7

Open efronbs opened 7 years ago

efronbs commented 7 years ago

It is extremely likely that some profile cookies will be changed as the user uses a site. I am not handling this.

Should I restore cookies to their original form at the end of a session? Should I take the new cookies and update the profile? Should I take a different approach with other forms of storage?

These are great questions! Do you think the profiles should be "living" or "static" in the library? Should they evolve with time or not?

I can see benefits to both -- perhaps it's a good idea to identify benefits of both and then choose one direction.

Then you have the problem with what data should be contributed and what should not. (This is why you are scrubbing cookies, for example, so maybe the problem of what to include and what to avoid is already solved.)
