Troubleshooting
What is Session Storage?
Session Storage objects are small pieces of data stored in the web browser, similar to cookies or Local Storage objects, are unique to a specific site and can be accessed by typing `window.sessionStorage` in a browser console.
Session Storage objects have no expiration date and are cleared once the user closes the browser window.
All Session Storage objects have a key and a value. For example, a Session Storage object could be eat=pizza
