SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LEDGER-BASED COOKIE MANAGEMENT

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18467329 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LEDGER-BASED COOKIE MANAGEMENT

Original Abstract Submitted

In various embodiments, systems and methods for ledger-based cookie management are provided. Rather than store cookie data as text files on the local device drive, cookie data is recorded to a blockchain technology cookie ledger store on a network resource. When a client application (e.g., a browser) on the UE is directed to a cloud-based service, and that cloud-based service calls for access to a cookie, that call is processed by a cookie gateway executing on the UE. The cookie gateway may verify authenticity of the user and generate a cookie access token that it transmits to the cloud-based service. The cloud-based service may use the cookie access token to locate the cookie ledger and access one or more records storing cookie data used by the cloud-based service. The cookie access token may expire upon termination of the session between the user equipment and the cloud-based service.
