1. What are cookies and local storage?
Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit websites. Local storage is a browser feature that lets a web application keep information directly on your device, without sending it to a server each time.
Hot Arcade World relies mainly on local storage, so that your high scores, trophies and settings work instantly and stay on your device.
