What's the best way to persist user information after login?

When I redirect to another page after login, all of my information was lost. I’m wondering what’s the best way to persist user information across the whole website. Thanks!

We use Client-Storage package:

If you don’t want to use a 3rd party package:

  • Use new Mongo.Collection(null), passing null will create Client-only collection, and to make it persistent you can use project called grounddb
  • LocalStorage (be careful not available in Private mode)
  • Cookies (be careful might be turned off or not available in Private mode)

Can you explain the use case some more. I just use this.userId() or Meteor.userId() from the Meteor package? It seems to be fine for me so far.
