1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are compact alphanumeric text files downloaded to your device when visiting a web resource. They enable websites to recall user preferences, record session authentication, and evaluate how informational pages are explored. Similar technologies include HTML5 Local Storage, which stores key-value pairs directly in your browser without transmitting them back and forth across every network request.
