There's a lot of breadcrumb modules out there, but none of them build true breadcrumbs.
Cookie Crumbs, makes use of cookies (hence the name), to provide history based breadcrumbs, and not the hierarchical standard ones.
Example of use:
For instance your site have top level menu items with a few sub pages. The user visit the first one (Products) and go down one level to view (01101 Product A).
Then the user looks for the company phone number in top level menu item (About Company) and then down a level to view (Location) until he finds (Contact) in the footer. The breadcrumb trail would then be:
(Products) - (01101 Product A) - (About) - (Location) - (Contact).
When on the phone the customer can easily refer to the product id from the breadcrumbs and quickly and convenient navigate back to that page.
Cookie Crumbs is essentially a representation of your browsers history. But some target groups can have a hard time using the browsers back button.
The breadcrumbs are provided through a block with the option to configure how deep the breadcrumb trail should be. The library, exposed in the block will append the title of the current page to an unordered list and keep track of them with cookies.
Cookie Crumbs implements the jQuery plugin hanselsrevenge by Martin Murphy. You can view a Demo (Not Drupal) and download the source from his GitHub repository
