Question

I do not know how youtubeDL accesses and saves the videos, so I ask this:
When I download a youtube video, are cookies saved in my computer?
Also, seeing youtube needs javascript to even work nowadays, I assume youtube's javascripts are downloaded, but are they cached?

I apologize for taking your time for such a simple question, given there are so many issues :(

https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/#:~:text=cache-dir

--cache-dir DIR Location in the filesystem where youtube-dl
can store some downloaded information
permanently. By default
$XDG_CACHE_HOME/youtube-dl or
~/.cache/youtube-dl . At the moment, only
YouTube player files (for videos with
obfuscated signatures) are cached, but that
may change.
