javascript - Is localStorage considered a cookie by the browser -

i making small html page javascript. won't need server side, need store person have done, using localstorage.(a checklist)

now days browsers have option not store cookies, , sites warns user if use cookies or not.

so questions are:

1:i need warn user data being stored, in client side?

2:browsers considers localstorage , sessionsotrage kind of cookie? mean, not save data when user select erase cookies or consider kind of threat.

i need warn user data being stored, in client side?

it depends on specific legislation concerned about. in uk, instance, wording of the privacy , electronic communications (ec directive) regulations 2003 says:

, person shall not use electronic communications network store information, or gain access information stored, in terminal equipment of subscriber or user unless requirements of paragraph (2) met.

while commonly referred "the cookie law", not apply solely cookies.

no

i mean, not save data when user select erase cookies

when erasing them, chrome bundles local storage cookies. doing comprehensive investigation circumstances browsers allow user determine when cookies , local storage erased bit beyond typical scope of question though.
