Hi all, I’m currently creating a website. I provide a button, that the user can switch the language between german and english. I want to store the value in a custom state variable (text; “de”/“en”) and I want to deliver the correct text from the database. Works fine, but I designed my page in different single-pages for seo reasons. so if the user clicks a link in the navigation bar, another site will load and the text will be shown. Now, if the user clicks the language button, a custom state “lang” is set (e.g. “en”) and the workflow opens an external page, for example: [www.mypage.com/about](http://www.mypage.com/about) “about” is the slug. The page will load and I want to display the data (text) from the db, but my slug is empty after a new url is loaded. I thought, the custom state will be stored internal (cookie or so…) and I can use the value on another page again. Is there a way to achieve this? I dont want to submit the lang-option in the url. best, jupxi ---

> [@jupixy](#): > > I thought, the custom state will be stored internal (cookie or so…) No… custom states are just page-level variables… If you need to store data in a more persistent way then, aside from using the database, you can use local/session storage (or cookies)… ---

> [@jupixy](#): > > doesn [bubble.io](http://bubble.io) support cookies/local storage out of the box or do I have to use custom plugins or custom code? The latter… (although, unless your use case is for non-authenticated users, using the database for this would be the simplest, and most logical approach). ---

I think it would be not useful to store data for every single visitor of my public website. 😉 ---

> [@jupixy](#): > > I think it would be not useful to store data for every single visitor of my public website. 😉 Why not? (Bubble does that already for you anyway). But if your use case is for non-authenticated Users, then Local Storage is the way to go. ---

do you have any examples or links for this usecase? is it possible to read/write a cookie/local storage-object and provide it in a Custom State or something that I can re-use the parameter in my bubble app (if is “en” then let = ---

Well there’s no need to use custom states if you’re using local storage. Personally I’d just use a JavaScript to bubble element for this… but you can check out plugins such as Floppy if you want to simplify things. ---
