Limits

The browser cookie mechanism has certain limits on how much data you can store.

  • According to RFC 6265 (section 6.1), browsers must support at least 50 cookies per domain and a minimum size of 4096 bytes (4 KB) per cookie (cookie name + value/attributes).

  • PrestaShop will create a single cookie, in the $_COOKIE array, with each key and value appended to a string and finally encrypted for security.

  • Please note that most browsers will ignore a cookie if its size exceeds 4096 bytes, which results in a limit of roughly 1,000 characters before encryption.
