Activate-Storage-Access header — secure-access permission initially not granted

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). This example assumes that it is the _first_ time that the user has visited a page that embeds anything from embedded.com, so the storage access permission has not been granted. The headers can only activate a permission for a context that has already been granted — they can't be used to _grant_ the storage-access permission in the first place. The embedded page must therefore be loaded without cookies and then call {{domxref("Document.requestStorageAccess()")}} with transient activation to request the storage-access permission. This is the same flow as if the headers were not present. > [!NOTE] > The headers are added where appropriate when the permission hasn't been granted, but don't materially affect the message flow or browser behavior. > Since the example doesn't demonstrate the main purpose of the headers we have presented it after the "already granted" example. The request is the same as in the previous example except that the browser has added Sec-Fetch-Storage-Access: none, because the secure-access permission has not been granted. Again, cookies aren't added because they are blocked by default. The server returns a non-credentialed version of the resource. This includes the {{httpheader("Vary")}} header, as the response may change with Sec-Fetch-Storage-Access. Note that it does not include Activate-Storage-Access as the server can't activate a permission if none has been granted. The embedded page would then call {{domxref("Document.requestStorageAccess()")}} with transient activation to request the storage-access permission. If the storage-access permission is granted for the embedded page, it is also activated. It would then reload itself, resulting in the following request. This time the browser adds Sec-Fetch-Storage-Access: active and includes the third-party cookies, reflecting the permission state of the embedded content. The server responds with the credentialed version of the resource, which may be different to the first version that was loaded, and adds the header Activate-Storage-Access: load. The browser loads the page, which will now have access to its own cookie information. Attribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
