title: loadStore (KLOAD)
---
## Summary
Load an option [`store`](/developer/language/guide/stores) value from a cookie or default value if no prior stored value exists.
## Syntax
```js
keyman.interface.loadStore(kbdName, storeName, value);
```
or
```js
KeymanWeb.KLOAD(kbdName, storeName, value); // Shorthand
```
### Parameters
`kbdName`
: Type: `string`
: The keyboard's identifying internal name.
`storeName`
: Type: `string`
: The option `store` name that is embedded in the cookie's name.
`value`
: Type: `string`
: A value for the store to use as default if no prior value exists.
### Return Value
`string`
: The current value of the store, or the default `value` provided if the store's value is `undefined`.
## Description
`keyman.interface.loadStore()` and [`keyman.interface.saveStore()`](saveStore) provide API-based functionality similar to that of the keyboard language's option `store`. Values will persist across multiple visits to the site by use of cookies. However, these functions cannot interact with `store`s from existing compiled keyboards due to compilation optimizations. As such, they are most useful for custom-coded web-oriented keyboards.
