google chrome - Would it be possible to store cookies on the cloud? -


would possible store cookies in google account when browsing using google chrome(just example)? wouldn't make aspects of searching web safer? why still storing cookies on device?

the article on http cookies contains useful information on role/purpose in http.

a cookie .. small piece of data sent website , stored in user's web browser while user browsing website. every time user loads website, browser sends cookie server notify website of user's previous activity. cookies designed reliable mechanism websites remember stateful information [between otherwise stateless http requests] ..

in particular, cookies only/primarily useful because stored on device , because sent appropriate requests. entire concept of "storing cookies on cloud" unrelated primary benefit/use of cookies in first place!

however, cookies considered insecure , should not used store sensitive information - why cookies coupled sessions , other server-side data access mechanisms [securely] store information on server.
