JavaScript Cookies vs Local Storage vs Session Storage

The ability to quickly store information on a user's browser is an incredibly under used, powerful feature of JavaScript, and this is partially because of how unwieldy it used to be. In this video I am going to discuss the differences between cookies, local storage, and session storage, and how dealing with browser storage has become much easier since the initial release of cookies. I will also talk about how to use cookies, local storage, and session storage to store information in a users browser.

This is simply the best YouTube channel to quickly get to the bottom of a particular issue that you have without long explanations of things you don't need. For everything else, there is documentation. You help a lot of people, thank you so much!

Your videos on JS are simply the best. Explain exactly what you need to know, nothing more and nothing less, in the most efficient way. Thank you so much!

July 2024. I was having a hard time working on NextJs, trying to learn how the server rendered pages were accessing my local data before actually generating (I did not want a client page), I did not know that cookies are sent with my requests. Now I can process some data on the server specific for the user, as I am getting the user email from the request as a cookie. I love this channel.

You have a very clear and concise way of approaching the subject. I felt like I learned quite a lot in 15 minutes! Thank you!
I hope you get many more views on your videos.

Bro, You have a talent to share knowledge with us! So easy to follow and understand. You will have much more subscribers in the future for sure! Its all about of time =)

This is fantastic, I've been scratching my head a lot lately trying to differentiate session, storage, and cookies and then lining it up with session on the server side. I've started looking at how other websites do it through the browser dev tools and cookies seem to be the weapon of choice.

[fabiajero]

It would be great also if you explain the different situations you may use each of them and which security problems you could have, like for example, storing user session data (auth).
Great video. Thanks

[jewels]

Amazing. Clear, concise, straight to the point and beginner-friendly examples. You provide the perfect platform for beginners like me, and I'm always grateful :)

Best cookie video I've seen. You can tell this guy has a deep knowledge of the material with the way he effortlessly explains all the moving pieces.
I know this is written with for Devs, but it's also a really good sort of introductory deep-dive into cookies. He did a great job of explaining the different types of cookies, how to identify them, what they do, and the reasons for why they are needed. Most concise yet jam packed with info video on any subject I've seen recently. Surprised to find it on the subject of web cookies, as in my experience it has been difficult to find videos that aren't either too shallow or too deep in their scope. This was perfect and I feel like I can take the next step without any huge gaps in my understanding now.
Great job, thank you!

[harshilparmar]
