Description

Each App has its own cookiejar and we need to be able to handle that meaningfully

Even more than that, we need to be able to work cross apps so that we can test end to end tests for marketplace and payment stuff.  Is this the right bug for this kind of stuff?

If it requires cookies then yes. I believe that identity heavily uses localStorage a lot and that would not be covered by this part of the API.

Yes, Identity uses cookies and localStorage exclusively in the system app.  The marketplace and payment stuff depends on Identity.

Identity stores everything in the system app so the user doesn't have to authenticate again for each tab or app that is open.

Being able to clear cookies in the system app is crucial for our ability to test.

The same goes for localStorage; shall I make a separate bug for that?

Yea it will be worth spinning a new bug for that too.
