title: Storing data with JavaScript in the browser
body: <p>I am trying to create a simple app that allows users to select the dev who they are pairing with on that day and then a set a timer so they switch.
  Currently, I am storing all the information in Firebase, but that seems like overkill.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way I can store data in the browser with JavaScript, such as in a cookie? The info I would need to store would be a small object like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>obj1 = { name: 'rob', pairName: 'chris', timeLeft: 15 }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or does Firebase make more sense?</p>
  
  <p>I need it to persist, so that if I refresh, it does not 'reset' the data.</p>
  
  <p>I am not asking how to do it, just advice and the ideal path :)</p>
