There are situations where you can't use cookies like when developing mobile apps [0]

We only stoped using cookies because of that since we wanted a more universal implementation so minimal changes had to be done between a web app and a mobile app implementation.

Other than that we would keep using session cookies.

Cordova wraps a web app into a native container. I've never used it, but i guess it doesn't use (or expose?) the native loading API…
