Cookies vs. Local Storage vs. Session Storage:


Cookies are small pieces of data stored on the client-side computer, usually in plain text. A cookie is typically sent to the server with each request so that the server can identify the user and provide personalized content. Cookies are typically used for authentication and storing user preferences. Local storage is similar to cookies, but it stores data in a structured way, usually as key-value pairs. The data is stored on the client-side computer, and it remains there until it is manually cleared. Local storage is generally used for storing data that needs to persist even after the browser has been closed. Session storage is similar to local storage, but it stores data only for the current session and is deleted once the browser is closed. Session storage is used for storing temporary data that is only needed while the user is on the website.
