This might be a bit general but, I'm wondering where are js variables stored? And are they kept when you click into new pages or every time the data is reset?

Reset to default

They are reset every time you refresh.

There are multiple ways to persist them between reloads. e.g.

For all of these methods you would need to persist these (generally due to some user interaction) and load these on page reload etc. It does not happen automatically, you have to explicitly do so.

What if I want to keep some variables?
you'll need to roundtrip them to the server; consider using sessions or cookies for storing persistent state, e.g. the document.cookie api
@OneZero Web Storage, cookies, or your own DB.
It depends what server side technology you are using if it is ASP.Net you can also store it on the page viewstate as well
@Kiarash I'm assuming this isn't a simple postback scenario.
