Add documentation about how JavaScript SDK interacts with cookies/localstorage/sessionstorage #10659

Core or SDK?

Platform/SDK

Which part? Which one?

JavaScript SDKs

Description

We should better document how our sdks interact with cookies/localstorage/sessionstorage, as it's a frequent privacy concern for our users.

Suggested Solution

The basic gist is:

  1. no sdk ever sets cookies

  2. sdks may get cookies to attach to events as debugging context with opt-in integrations + sendDefaultPii true

https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/configuration/integrations/httpclient/ sends cookie data

  1. sdks use sessionstorage/localstorage with opt-in integrations to store data to power sdk functionality accordingly

Replay uses sessionstorage

Offline integration uses localstorage
