In general the local storage should not be deleted just because the system is restarted. The only exception to this that I am aware of is if you are using local storage in a private/incognito browser tab. The local storage data will be deleted when the last private browser tab is closed.
The reason I ask is because of the stupid iPad. It saves data to local storage, which lasts for a few days, but then disappears at a browser/OS update and cache reset. Even doing a full reboot/power off/on cycle can erase that local storage on an iPad.
I haven't noticed the issue on my Win 11 PC or laptop, but iPad sucks with it.
Here's where someone made a git report about the issue and what they think is going on with it: https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-...ssues/3182
Quote:After some research, I suspect that the issue arises due to the sketch being contained in an <iframe> Tag (preview.p5js.org) and the local storage object being stored in the browser under that subdomain. The local storage being cleared after a browser reset is likely a WebKit security measure to prevent third party tracking ("Intelligent Tracking Prevention" https://webkit.org/blog/7675/intelligent...revention/). One solution could be to store and access the local storage object under the domain editor.p5js.org. But this exceeds the scope of my understanding.
Note 2: Safari and iPad erases *all* browser storage after seven days of it being unvisited. That's another of their security features they pushed on the public a while back to protect us all from ourselves. /sigh. Makes a real PITA with some of the html5 browser games. Take a break, start over...
