Cookies not saved

Question

I have an app that reads a jpg file and displays the embedded GPS location on a google map using a TChromiumWindow.CreateBrowser component. (Delphi Berlin and CEF4Delphi latest version). Every time I run it I have to accept or deny cookies.

How do I make it remember my cookie choice ?

I have tried setting up a ICefCookieManager cookie manager but there is no option to set a cookie store and the cache folder remains empty. Also looked at a number of GlobalCefApp ideas I found on the internet without success.

Answer 1

The cookies are saved with the cache files.

Set the cache directory in GlobalCEFApp.Cache before the GlobalCEFApp.StartMainProcess call in the DPR file like this :

GlobalCEFApp.Cache := 'c:\my_custom_cache_directory';

Make sure that the windows user executing your application has write privileges in the cache directory.

With this setting you will only have to deal with the "accept or deny cookies" dialog the first time you visit a web page or when the cookies expire.
