How does the GDPR impact the use of local storage for storing personal data?

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) impacts the use of local storage for storing personal data by requiring that individuals give explicit consent for their data to be stored locally. This means that companies must ensure that they have proper consent and security measures in place when storing personal data on devices or servers located within the European Union. Failure to comply with GDPR regulations can result in significant fines and penalties.
