I am running Android Honeycomb 3.2.1 and I am unable to force the browser to stop accepting cookies. I have the following code:
first.html:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <script type="text/javascript" src="cookie.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> setCookie('testing','test cookie',365); window.location.href = 'second.html'; </script> </head> <body> </body> </html>
second.html:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <script type="text/javascript" src="cookie.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var temp = getCookie('testing'); alert(temp); </script> </head> <body> </body> </html>
cookie.js:
function setCookie(c_name,value,exdays) { var exdate=new Date(); exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays); var c_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate.toUTCString()); document.cookie=c_name + "=" + c_value; } function getCookie(c_name) { var i,x,y,ARRcookies=document.cookie.split(";"); for (i=0;i<ARRcookies.length;i++) { x=ARRcookies[i].substr(0,ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=")); y=ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=")+1); x=x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,""); if (x==c_name) { return unescape(y); } } return null; }
Now, if I turn off cookies and run first.html in any of my desktop browsers, I get redirected and get a warning that says null as expected.
If I turn on my cookies and run first.html in any of my desktop browsers, I get redirected and get a warning that says “test cookie”, as expected.
Now, if I run this on my Android tablet with cookies disabled, it always returns a “test cookie” in the warning. It doesn't matter if I have cookies. I tried to change the settings, delete cookies and cache, restart the browser and even restart the tablet and all with the same results.
Any help is appreciated.
