If cookies are mentioned then should mention: file save api, indexdb, local storage.
Also another way is to integrate with dropbox, onedrive, google drive etc. There is also an open source project called remotestorage but traction seems low.

I will try adding things you mentioned, and I'd love to find way to also have stupidly complex/convoluted storage systems, inspired by tom7's harder drives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJSW7Rprio
Firstly there is an external product feed API that returns JSON.
In a single file I have an async function fetch from it and do some transformations.
In various pages (and I am using the new App Router so this might be different) I just call the function from an async React component and then use that data to do server-side generation.
The catch is that it is limited to 2Mb calls for caching. Otherwise the fetch works but they don't cache it. I am going to experiment to see if I can just store the data in memory globally.
This may not be a great approach for data provided by users. And it is a cache, so the data can be lost of course. Since in my case I can go back to the API it is of no concern.
