"Laverna is webapp written on JavaScript which means it requires no installation and no registration."

"None of us can get access to your personal data because we are using IndexedDB and localStorage. In fact all your information will be stored only on client side."

So does this mean that clearing cookies in Chrome will delete all your information?

If the chrome devs in their infinite wisdom lumped cookies and HTML5 localstore together, then yes.
Yeah, it's one option in Chrome unfortunately:

"Cookies, site, and plug-in data:

Cookies: Files stored on your computer by websites you've visited. These files contain user information, such as preferences for websites or profile information.

Site data: HTML5 enabled storage types including application caches, Web Storage data, Web SQL Database data, and Indexed Database data.

Plug-in data: Any client-side data stored by plug-ins that use the NPAPI ClearSiteData API"

Yes, but it wouldn't take much work to add a server component. Maybe add the vole.cc backend or a couchdb adapter.
I believe so although I do see Dropbox support in their settings so I'm guessing you can have your data sent to your own Dropbox for more long-term storage.
In other words, it's about as secure as a mailbox.
