# Wildcard Cookies

> Group similar storage items using wildcard patterns.

Platforms that generate unique storage item names, for each session or user, can create an overwhelming number of individual cookies. Wildcards streamline this by grouping these under a single pattern.

Use `*` in storage item names to match any storage item that follows a certain pattern.

## How do wildcards work?

* Standard Naming: `session_12345`, `session_67890`, etc.
* Wildcard Usage: `session_*`

This wildcard pattern will match any storage item of the same type that starts with `session_`, treating them as a single group.
