# websiteDataStore

The object you use to get and set the site’s cookies and to track the cached data objects.

## Declaration

```swift
var websiteDataStore: WKWebsiteDataStore { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If you don’t assign a value to this property, the configuration object uses the default data store object to store data persistently. To create a private web-browsing session, create a nonpersistent data store using the nonPersistent() method and assign it to this property. For more information, see WKWebsiteDataStore.
