What are the differences between cookies, local storage, and session storage in web browsers?
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on the client’s browser, which are sent with each HTTP request to the server. Local storage and session storage are newer mechanisms for storing data on the client side. Local storage persists even after the browser is closed, while session storage is cleared when the session ends (i.e., when the browser is closed). Both local storage and session storage offer more storage space than cookies and are accessible via JavaScript APIs.
