Does localStorage save in different game versions/updates

[mango]

(this is my first post, and i didnt rlly know where to put it, so i went for wick forums)
Im currently making a game that utilises localStorage variables to save and load data, and when the games done, im prob gonna add a few updates/versions over time. i was wondering if localStorage data persists between different versions/files

It persists through any website, so a save editor can use the same key to get the same info.

If you want something that doesn’t persist between versions of your game. Try using cookies.

short answer, yes, as @noobfield said.
If you don’t want it to, you can always save a variable for version number and reset the data if it’s not the latest version number.

I don’t think it changes much with cookies, but for cookies you can at least set expiration dates. If you want to learn how to use cookies, take a look at this demo by BlurredPixels

Saving preferences to cookies

little test on how to save a preference made in wick in a cookie and retrive it.cookiePref_0001.wick (4.1 KB) every time you choose a different shape your choice is written in a cookie. When you stop and restart the project it first check for the cookie to see what was your last choice and write it in the textfield it can be useful to record and restore game states, players preferences… need to be played in the browser editor (cookies wont work in desktop version)

Keep into account that users are able to clear the local data (and cookies) manually.
