Safari not setting cross domain localstorage

[npatelseamless]

So on the Safari v 8.0.2, cross domain local storage doesn't seem to be getting set at all however it's not throwing any errors within the console. No issues from Firefox and Chrome however. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

Any thoughts on this?

Hey, I did manage to reproduce. From some reason Safari doesn't share it's localstorage between tabs. I need to look into it more. If u get any ideas on how to solve it please advice :)

Apple has updated the defaults on Safari 7+ both on desktop and mobile to block 3rd party data. The option is now called "Block cookies and other website data" which refers to things like localstorage which are now completely isolated by domain.

There are no workarounds anymore.

Does this mean this way of sharing localStorage data is not/will not be possible on Safari?

[manigandham]

Outside of using a redirect to set first party cookies - no, it's not possible on Safari.
