Sharepoint personalization

I am creating a custom sharepoint solution that will show the number of dropdown pages. The dropdown data is split into possible pages.

I want to keep the selected values ​​of the user in such a way that whenever he visits this page or any other page with the same dropdown, he should see that the saved value is selected in the dropdown.

To implement this, I have several options. Please suggest the best for SharePoint 1) Sharepoint User Profiles 2) Sharepoint List 3) Cookies 4) Isolated Storage?

Options 3 and 4 are customers here. But I'm looking for any other way that SharePoint provides for storing custom settings / personalization.

What's the correct way to do this in SharePoint? Thanks to

One issue you should be aware of with user profiles is that they are only available for MOSS (as opposed to WSS). In WSS, each site has its own list of user information. If the solution you are building will need to run in both MOSS and WSS environments, you must plan accordingly.

My instinct tells me to use cookies for this, if it's a fairly simple state to save. This seems to be part of the UI logic, and I would not tie this to the profile store.



Pages and Web Parts also have personalization stores, but they are usually not shared between instances.

I would go with the profile store because that's what it is for, although generally when you write your own code in SharePoint the best practice idea throws the window off.
