Hey cool content!!, i was just following through why did u stored temp code in cookie on initial request, that blog from aaronparecki says to create it only when the user allows the app request, umm not sure which is right now.

Hey there! I can’t remember, but that might change in the 2nd and 3rd videos. There are many ways to store a code temporarily and this was a quick way to do so at the time. However, it’s worth noting that the cookie can be set to secure https only with a timeout and so their shouldn’t be much security concern if implemented correctly
