session and authentication access

• session and network context: observe network requests/responses within the embedded browser to obtain session identifiers and api headers required for features you invoke
• access localstorage: read and write to browser localstorage to retrieve your account data, cart contents, and session information
• access cookies: read platform cookies to obtain store ids, session tokens, and serviceability information

data extraction authorization
