Application cookies
Learn which cookies Betty Blocks applications may use, when they are created, and which platform features require them
Cookies are small text files stored in the user’s browser when they visit an application. They help the application remember information between requests, such as authentication status or language preference. Cookies are essential for enabling secure login, maintaining user sessions, and supporting user-specific settings.
Betty Blocks applications do not use cookies by default. Cookies are only created when specific platform features are enabled. This means your application may not use any cookies at all, depending on its configuration and functionality.
Below is a short overview of the cookies that can be used by the platform and when they apply.
data_api_cookie
This cookie is used only when an application is not in the Live environment. It supports secure communication with the Data API during development and testing. Once the application is promoted to Live, this cookie is no longer used.
betty_jwt
This cookie is used only when the application uses the Betty Blocks account authentication profile. It stores a JSON Web Token (JWT) that keeps users authenticated during their session. Applications that use other authentication methods, such as custom username/password or SSO, do not use this cookie.
BBLocale
This cookie is used only when the Translation feature is enabled. It stores the user’s selected language so the application can display content in the correct locale. If translations are not used, this cookie is not created.
Betty Blocks only uses cookies when required by specific features such as authentication, translations, or development-level API access. If these features are not enabled, the application does not place cookies on the user’s device.
