What are cookies?
Cookies are files which store information on your device when you visit a website using your web browser. They help the website remember your preferences, login details, and other personalized settings to enhance your browsing experience.
Local storage is a web storage feature that allows websites to store data persistently on your device. This data remains even after you close your browser or turn off your device. It is typically used to save user preferences, themes, or other settings that you want to retain between sessions.
Session storage is similar to local storage but is designed to store data temporarily. The information stored in session storage is only available for the duration of your visit to the website and is cleared once you close your browser. This is useful for storing information that is only needed while you are actively using the site, such as temporary forms or session-specific settings.
By using these technologies, we can remember your preferences, maintain your login sessions, and provide a smoother and more personalised experience on the nQuire website.
