Summary

Allows for unpartitioned storage that may only be read in a secure environment with carefully constructed output gates. This API is intended to support many of the use cases of third-party cookies without permitting cross-site user tracking.

Motivation

This is a new API that intentionally allows for cross-site storage in a web in which all other storage has been partitioned by top-level site. To prevent cross-site tracking of users, data in Shared Storage may only be read in a secure environment with carefully constructed, private output gates. This supports a number of cross-site storage use cases in a privacy-safe way.
