This appears at the bottom of the README:

Chrome doesn't support cookies for local files unless you start it with the --enable-file-cookies flag.

Can you elaborate on what it means? I was under the impression this jQuery extension just used regular cookies.

The key part to that line is "local files". Chrome's security won't allow saving cookies when you open a file directly from your desktop, for example. To get around that you can open Chrome with the enable file cookies flag to suppress that security feature.

This will work on a site that is hosted somewhere or ran through a local web server.
