How do web applications keep a user logged in? How does a shopping site remember what’s in your cart? And how is this done securely?

We will also compare cookies with localStorage
, a more recent way for the browser to organize client-side data.
Every web developer needs to understand how to securely implement sessions and work with client-side data!
