1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small alphanumeric files transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser that enable platforms to recognize your client, retain navigation state, and gather anonymous aggregated performance telemetry. Modern websites also leverage HTML5 localStorage, which stores state keys strictly within your browser without sending tokens back to the server with every HTTP request.
