Which one is Best for Redirecting User to Other Location, Local Storage or Cookies [closed]

-2

I am planning to create a landing page for a website asking visitor for their province of living in Radio-input elements and then redirect the user to sub-folder/sub-domain with specific design for that area (province). I would like to store the user selection then in the nest visit redirect the request to the associated sub-folder/sub-domain without going to landing page. Now I am not sure which one is the best option for doing this

A- JavaScript Old well-know Cookies

B- Browser Local Storage

Can you please advise which one is the best for this purpose considering the fact that I will store the selected value by user selection on radios?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

  localStorage would be better because cookies bloat your server responses.

  We can't tell you want is best; there are too many factors to consider and it will end up being a popularity contest. For instance, in some regions there are laws regarding the use of cookies; others include local storage in those regulations.

  Cookies are far easier, but things are a changing and making it so only basic access tokens should be stored in cookies in the future. but we're not quite there yet.

Use a cookie only if you need the information to be sent to the server, when that information won't get sent to the server otherwise - otherwise, there's no need for the extra baggage in network requests.

If you want users to be redirected from the server, then save the information in a cookie, and look up the cookie value when the landing page is requested, then serve the appropriate subdomain page. (If you use cookies, you may have to provide a disclaimer.)

If you want users to be redirected with client-side Javascript (such as by assigning to window.location.href when the visitor visits the landing page), and the server has no need to see their locale information on every connection, then use Local Storage.

Server-side redirection is probably more elegant, but both methods are OK options. It depends on the sort of behavior you want visitors to see, and your back-end setup.
