HTML Web Storage, also known as the Web Storage API, allows websites to store data directly in your browser. It can hold up to 5MB of information, such as text or lists. Unlike cookies, this data is not sent to the server when you open a webpage. There are two types of web storage:- Session storage. This is accessible only within a single browser tab or window; data disappears once you close the tab or browser.
- Local storage. This is accessible across all tabs and windows from the same website; the data remains in your browser even after you close it and doesn’t expire unless you or the website removes it.
