So I'm exporting a list of floats to a list, separated by a ';' as a cookie.

Example output:
-1.000000;0.899999;-1.000000;-1.000000;-1.000000;-1.000000;-1.000000;-1.000000;-1.000000;-1.000000;

Issue is I need to do this for like 50 floats but it seems like the cookie string is limited to 100 bytes (100 characters). Is this actually a limitation or am I doing something wrong?

If so is my only option to split up everything into 100 byte strings and save each and every one as a cookie?

I wouldn't call it a limitation but yes, cookie values can only have a maximum of 100 chars. I suggest you use the dbi api instead of cookies for this. What are those floats used for?

Ah okay. Already went ahead and split up the cookies so no no worries :p

Alternately, if you dont need the full precision, you could truncate the text through formatting.

e.g. %5.1f instead of %f would truncate it to 5 characters max, with only 1 after the decimal. In your case, 1 appears to be the max, so maybe %5.3f (I seem to recall it counts the decimal, so that would be 5 char: 0.345). Alternately, a less-recommended method would be to round it.

I still like to know what you use those floats for. I'm sure these is a better way to store them.
