What is the structural difference between local storage and cookies in browser data persistence?
When developing an interactive web tool, when should a programmer save temporary user preference data inside localStorage versus standard browser cookies?

LocalStorage can store larger amounts of data (up to 5MB) and remains locally inside the browser without being sent to the server. Cookies are tiny (4KB), have expiration dates, and are automatically attached to every HTTP request, making them ideal for authentication tokens.
