What is the difference between local storage and cookies?

In order to do this websites need to store data locally on the client-side. The solution for this for a while has been cookies, which are small text-files that store.

stores data with no expiration date, and gets cleared only through JavaScript, or clearing the Browser Cache / Locally Stored Data

sessionStorage: similar to localStorage but expires when the browser closed (not the tab).

Cookie: stores data that has to be sent back to the server with subsequent requests.

Cookies are primarily for reading server-side, localStorage and sessionStorage can only be read client-side.
