That’s a distinction without a difference IMHO.

Local storage (or Cache API, IndexedDB) + Service Worker = Cookies (simply add a header to every request)

Local storage + DOM manipulation to add search params with the stored content = Cookies (apart from first navigation)

And on the flip side

Cookies set using JS + Ignore cookies server side = Local storage

It’s almost like the object/closure equivalence.
