Where are cookies saved for a local HTML file?

Unfortunately some browsers including Google Chrome do not store cookies from local web pages:

Firefox has great developer plugins for cookie management, which report their domains, access paths and expiry:

For local development purposes you can setup a development domain like “localhost” or “myfakedomain.com” and run your files on a local server.

Search:

  • Editing Hosts File [operating system]
  • Setup Local server on [operating system] (I use xampp)
