Checking your session…
Asking the lab server whether your browser is signed in.
The server verifies every check. Reloading never creates a new login or restores missing cookies.
BROWSER BASICS / EXPERIMENT 01
One real session. Two harmless cookies.
A small place to make browser storage make sense.
Asking the lab server whether your browser is signed in.
The server verifies every check. Reloading never creates a new login or restores missing cookies.
Their jobs are deliberately different.
MAKE THE CONNECTION
Use the browser with your extension installed, and keep this page open.
Click Log in to demo. All three cookies should appear, and the session should say signed in.
If Freeze isolates the selected cookies as described in your tutorial, keep only session_lab_theme, then reload this page.
This lab should say signed out. Unfreeze to restore, then try only session_lab_auth: it should say signed in.
Waiting for the first server check.
A clean comparison. This lab uses no Local Storage, Session Storage, service worker, or automatic sign-in. Preferences cannot authenticate you. Demo sessions expire after one hour or a server restart.
Before using Freeze: your tutorial says it replaces cookies across the browser profile. A separate practice Chrome profile keeps other website sessions out of the experiment. Unfreeze before logging out or resetting the lab.
