1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
localStorage is a browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to the server with every request.
