Why is cache-sprite-plyr stored in Local Storage?

[sampotts]

It's to improve the perceived speed of subsequent loads of the SVG sprite sheet. On first load, the sprite sheet is stored in local storage (it's small) and then for subsequent loads the sprite is pulled from local storage initially (so the UI renders fast) and then updated when the network request succeeds.

Ok, thx for the answer. So Session storage could have been used as well? Just asking due to "privacy" concerns
