title: Access application-saved data from a web browser
body: <p>We have a desktop application for which the user enters some registration details (e.g. support code), and can then use the application. </p>
  
  <p>We would like to be able to automatically fill our support website ticket form with this information, even if the desktop application is not running.</p>
  
  <p>So far we've considered:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/wininet/nf-wininet-internetsetcookiea" rel="nofollow noreferrer">InternetSetCookie</a> - but it only works for Windows+IE</li>
  <li>use <a href="https://www.seleniumhq.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Selenium</a> to create cookies for all major browsers (seems an overkill, and required us to distribute Selenium along with our app)</li>
  <li>have a JS service always run in the background</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Are there better alternatives?</p>
