Is it possible to use localstorage with context per path like cookie?

Question

Aware of issues like:

Cookies are included with every HTTP request, thereby slowing down your web application by needlessly transmitting the same data over and over
Cookies are included with every HTTP request, thereby sending data unencrypted over the internet (unless your entire web application is served over SSL)
Cookies are limited to about 4 KB of data — enough to slow down your application (see above), but not enough to be terribly useful

I decided to use localstorage instead of cookies.

QUESTION: Can I limit localstorage context to certain path like with cookies?

Storage is per origin. But it's standard to namespace your variables : `localStorage['moduleA.a']` which helps manage big sites (or origins with many different sites). — Denys Séguret, Jul 29 '14 at 10:57

I would not care on 4Kb of transmitting data in year 2014. Each of those has [diff purposes](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3220660/local-storage-vs-cookies) — fed.pavlo, Jul 29 '14 at 10:58

As mentioned in the comments already, webstorages (localStorage, sessionStorage) are scoped per origin.

User agents must have a set of local storage areas, one for each origin.

What is an origin?

Let's just quote the w3.org wiki page on the same origin policy:

An origin is defined by the scheme, host, and port of a URL.
