Systems and methods for ledger-based cookie management

A system for ledger-based cookie management, the system comprising:

• a user equipment (UE) comprising one or more processors and one or more computer-readable media storing computer-usable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• establish a communication session over a network between a cloud-based service and a client application of the UE, the UE coupled to the network through at least one access network;
• execute a cookie service gateway in communication with the client application, wherein the cookie service gateway generates a cookie access token in response to a request from the client application for cookie data associated with the communication session, wherein the cookie access token identifies a network-connected cookie ledger;
• and
• communicate the cookie access token to the cloud-based service.

A method for ledger-based cookie management, the method comprising:

• establishing a communication session over a network between a client application executing on a user equipment (UE) and a cloud-based service;
• controlling the client application to request access to cookie data associated with the communication session with the cloud-based service;
• receiving a cookie access token from the UE, wherein the cookie access token identifies a network-connected cookie ledger comprising one or more cookie records associated with the cookie data;
• communicating with the network-connected cookie ledger to activate a smart contract associated with at least one cookie record of the one or more cookie records based on the cookie access token;
• and
• controlling one or more functions of the smart contract to communicate the cookie data between the cloud-based service and the network-connected cookie ledger.
