2.5. Using localStorage and sessionStorage

The technology "Web Storage" is a technical possibility in which, similar to cookies, data and information can be stored on the user's computer or device.

Data can generally be stored in web storage in two ways. The name of the web storage depends on the storage duration. A distinction is made between persistent storage (localStorage) and storage limited to the "session" (sessionStorage). A session begins when the page is accessed and ends when the page is exited (e.g., by closing the tab or the browser).

Access to localStorage or sessionStorage is provided via the scripts and web services used on the website.

We have created a table below to explain the type of data and the purpose of local and session storage.
