Use of browser cookies to store structured data
Abstract
A web site system implements a process for storing selected data
structures within browser cookies. The data structures may contain a
variety of different types of data elements, including N-bit integers
and other non-character elements. A version tracking scheme provides
forward and backward compatibility between client and server
software. The process is implemented without the need for any browser
extensions, and without the need for users to download any special
code to their computers.
