All the items that you going to place on the profile of the user are stored on the server.

When a user login, then you can retrieve this values for the user and you get that data from your server, from your local database.

If you use a database for your user, then there is a table with all the user profile properties.

ps The only data that you can save on the user browser is the cookie - and this is limited.
