Troubleshooting
What is Local Storage?
Local Storage objects are small pieces of data stored in the web browser, similar to cookies or Session Storage objects, are unique to a specific site, and can be accessed by typing `window.localStorage` in a browser console.
Local Storage objects have no expiration date and can only be removed using JavaScript or by clearing the browser’s cache.
All Local Storage objects have a key and a value. For example, a Local Storage object could be eat=pizza
