<p>The <strong><code>NavigatorStorage</code></strong> {{Glossary("mixin")}} adds to the {{domxref("Navigator")}} and {{domxref("WorkerNavigator")}} interfaces the {{domxref("Navigator.storage")}} property, which provides access to the {{domxref("StorageManager")}} singleton used for controlling the persistence of data stores as well as obtaining information</p>

<p>There are many APIs which provide ways for Web content to store data on a user's computer, including {{Glossary("cookies")}}, the Web Storage API ({{domxref("Window.localStorage")}} and {{domxref("Window.sessionStorage")}}), and <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API">IndexedDB</a>. The Storage Standard is designed to serve as a common basis for the implementation of all of those APIs and storage technologies, so that their constraints and configurations can be understood and controlled using a common set of methods and properties.</p>
