1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage Objects?
Cookies are small alphanumeric text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile smartphone when you navigate websites. Local storage (such as HTML5 `localStorage`) provides persistent client-side key-value memory to record user choices without transmitting data back and forth with every HTTP server request.
Rankdashatls utilizes cookies and local storage tokens to sustain necessary navigational workflows, remember architectural filter settings (such as living room vs. kitchen tabs), and measure aggregated audience interactions.
