Retaining around 1KB of data across different pages

Question

Using Javascript / Jquery (1.7) / Ajax , is it possible to retain around 1kb of data across 2 different pages on the same domain?

For example, a user will enter information into a textbox, and navigate away from this page onto a specific different page.

Is it then possible to alert the user with the textbox information from the previous page?

You could store the information in a cookie, when the textbox value is changed (`onchange` event). Then on page load, you could check this cookie. — Abhishek Goyal, Dec 24 '14 at 16:07

You can store that amount of information:

In cookies (up to 4K)
In local/session storage (limits start from 2.5MB)
In the URL (e.g. via a query string or fragment id) (up to 2,083 characters in IE)
