Jamie is shopping online for a new skateboard using Google Chrome on their favorite skate equipment website. They add a skateboard and other parts to their shopping cart (usually stored in a cookie) but wait until after dinner to finish. After dinner, Jamie uses the Safari browser to complete the purchase. However, upon opening the shopping cart, Jamie finds it empty. Why is Jamie's shopping cart empty after switching from Google Chrome to Safari to complete the purchase?
Safari and Google Chrome share cookies, but there was a glitch.
Jamie accidentally cleared their browsing history and cookies in Safari.
The website automatically clears the shopping cart after a certain period.
Cookies are specific to each browser, so the shopping cart doesn't carry over.
