How can we store data entered by user in HTML?
HTML web storage provides two objects for storing data on the client:
- window. localStorage – stores data with no expiration date.

Cookies are small files which are stored on a user’s computer. This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next.

What are some examples of local storage?
