Cookies are text files with small pieces of data that are communicated between the server and the browser in the header of requests. Local storage or Session storage is a web storage object which allows to save key/value pairs in the browser.
The Local Storage object stores the data and it does not inherently expire on its own, which means that it persists until it is explicitly cleared by the user or removed programmatically by the website or application that stored the data. Insider's Local Storage objects also have their own expiration time based on their usage. On the other hand, the Session Storage data gets cleared when the page session ends—that is, when the page is closed.
