Session expires on page reload

Like on any website, can we have the same Session State on Page Reload or Duplicate Tab?

Persisting device fingerprint specific states specific to a client

Though there are ways to store a single session’s states (like this), there currently seems to be no way to persist them across refreshes for a single user/client. (Something roughly like a browser cookie or local storage) Not to be confused with a global persistent states (like this or this). It would be great if we could use the device fingerprint of the client to store a state object specific to that client. Would that be possible?

I explored the different options including Cookie and Device Fingerprint. I’ve decided to go with implementing a Cookie. But, I’m struggling to find a Python Implementation either in a GitHub Project or on a Stack Overflow code snippet or any other resource like a Python Package.

As I’ve minimal Web Development knowledge, I request starting point for Cookie Implementation with Python to persist the Streamlit Session on Page Refresh or across duplicate Tabs in the browser.

Hi @the-marlabs ,
I’ve implemented auto-save and auto-load of a session state after a refresh or timeout, so every work the user had done and was saved to a session state, will persistent:
