How can you set a Cookie visibility scope to local Storage?

Cookies and local storage serve different purposes and function in distinct ways in the context of web development. Cookies are data that are sent from the server to the client’s web browser and are stored on the client’s machine. They can store data that needs to be sent back to the server with subsequent requests. Local storage, part of the Web Storage API, is a way to store data on the client’s computer in a much more extensive and better-protected manner than cookies. Data stored in local storage isn’t automatically sent to the server like cookies with every HTTP request.

You cannot directly set a “cookie visibility scope” to Local Storage because they are fundamentally different mechanisms for storing data in a web context. However, you could manage data in a way that emulates storing cookie-like information in Local Storage by manually setting and retrieving Local Storage data within your web application. Here’s how you might manage this with JavaScript:

### Storing Data Similar to a Cookie in Local Storage

To emulate storing cookie data in local storage, you essentially manually set items to be stored in local storage. You can then retrieve them when needed, mimicking cookie behavior but without automatic HTTP request inclusion.

Example: Setting a value in Local Storage

// This is akin to setting a cookie

localStorage.setItem('myKey', 'myValue');

```

Example: Retrieving the stored value from Local Storage

javascript

// This is akin to reading a cookie

const value = localStorage.getItem(‘myKey
