1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, provide a more efficient user experience, and supply reporting information to website operators.
In addition to standard HTTP cookies, modern web applications utilize HTML5 LocalStorage to persist user preferences directly in your browser without transmitting them across the network with every HTTP request.
