How to make web page store data from user?

Question

I've been experiencing with making little fun projects using HTML, CSS and JS. But everything loads back from the beginning each time the page reopens. Changes in the DOM caused by JS are also reversed. So how can I write a page where user can start from where they left off like a game that saves player data?

Answer 1

For private game data, I suggest you to use local storage.
No reason to use server database for a such thing
