Answer» The differences between local storage and cookies are as follows: | Local Storage | Cookies |
|---|
| Local storage generally stores large amounts of data on the client's COMPUTER (client’s browser) as key-value pairs. | Simply put, a cookie is a small text file containing information about a website, like a USERNAME or a password. When you visit a particular website, this website SAVES some information in your local system so that it can recognize you and display results according to your preferences. | | The client can only access local storage. It is impossible for a SERVER to use local storage unless it deliberately makes a request to the server via GET or POST. | Servers and clients are both able to read and write cookies. | | Local storage has a storage capacity of 5MB/10MB. | Cookies have a storage capacity of 4KB. | | Local storage does not have an expiration date, so it must be manually removed. | Cookies have an expiration date and cookie data is purged after a CERTAIN period of time. |
