You re most likely using this on a local file over the file    URI scheme  which cannot have cookies set  Put it on a local server so you can use http   localhost

Faced with the same situation playing with Javascript webworkers  Unfortunately Chrome doesn t allow to access javascript workers stored in a local file    One kind of workaround below using a local storage is to running Chrome with --allow-file-access-from-files  with s at the end   but only one instance of Chrome is allowed  which is not too convenient for me  For this reason i m using Chrome Canary  with file access allowed    BTW in Firefox there is no such an issue

I also had this issue while developping on HTML5 in local  I had issues with images and getImageData function  Finally  I discovered one can launch chrome with the --allow-file-access-from-file command switch  that get rid of this protection security  The only thing is that it makes your browser less safe  and you can t have one chrome instance with the flag on and another without the flag
