Specification

None

Summary

The Related Website Partition (RWP) API is a novel mechanism for providing
third-party embeds access to a partitioned, non-cookie storage handle which
allows them to continue a single session across multiple domains in the
same Related Website Set.

Related Website Sets <http://goo.gle/rws> (RWS) introduces a new privacy
boundary on the web which allows sites to have access to their
unpartitioned cross-site state when they are embedded on other related
sites.

Blink component

Blink > Storage

Motivation

Some third-party SaaS developers embed their content on sites which are
part of a Related Website Set and wish to maintain a continuous session
across multiple sites within that set.

The RWP API provides a way for third parties to maintain a single session
across sites in an RWS using storage that does not prompt the user and is
limited only to activity within that set. This is in contrast to using the
Storage Access API, which does prompt the user and grants the third party
access to activity outside the current RWS.

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

No

Debuggability

None

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?

No

Flag name on chrome://flags

TBD

Finch feature name

TBD, likely kRelatedWebsitePartitionAPI

Non-finch justification

None

Requires code in //chrome?

The implementation of the feature would not depend on code in //chrome.

We may modify the browser UI defined in //chrome which provides information
about Related Website Sets.
