Local data storage means saving different types of data on your device through the web browser. Locally stored data can refer to how to browse our website, what web browser is used, user settings, etc. Cookies are one method of local data storage. Cookies are small text files that are sent and stored on the user’s computer, mobile phone, tablet or other on-line access device, which allow us to recognise your web browser.
