firefox "site data" javascript
Hello, I would like to know what does "site data" refers to? I have noticed that whatsapp authentification is stored into "site data" and not into "cookies" like most websites. why? what is the difference? I would like to know how to access the "site data " of a website (notably whatsapp ) through javascript?
Thank you

Some websites have the ability to store information, such as files, in your local storage, and these files can only be removed manually by you. This helps the website run faster and prevents information from being lost if you lose your connection. This feature is enabled by storage API.

Hi tiblop, the Site Data dialog on the Options doesn't provide detailed information. While you are visiting a site, you could check the Storage Inspector: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Tools/Storage_Inspector
The most common form of storage after cookies would be local storage. For information about the interface for scripting local storage, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Web_Storage_API
