html storage safari incognito mode, angular2

Question

I am not able to save any data in HTML local / session storage when safari is in private mode in IOS in iphone 6 plus. Can anyone help me with why this could be happening. Is it possible to over ride it and make it store data?

You can write a script and on exception ask user to open your website in normal mode or in a different browser

try {
        localStorage.setItem("check", "test");
        console.log("works!!");
    } catch (exception) {
        console.log('browser / mode not supported');
    }

Answer 2

Well, the reason is itself the browser, actually, Safari exposes the localStorage object, but it refuses to store any value.

You can store data in cookies instead.
