Storing input from different frontend webpages of a multi page contact form

+0
−3

I consider to create a multi page contact form in which there is one backend page but about 5 front-end pages (stage 1-5). Pages 1-4 are input pages and page 5 is for a submit button and a success message.


I understand that I can save the data of each stage (before the form submit in stage 5) in either of the following:

  • Cookie
  • LocalStorage
  • SessionStorage

How should I determine which of these Web browser data storages would best fit my need?

It might be relevant to mention the application type. I guess you are not using a Single Application Page with client-side routing and each stage means a full page refresh, right? (server-side rendering)

Hi, I misunderstand the comment; there should be no full page refresh at anytime.
