PHP / WP How to save checkbox status after refresh?

I have a filter that is list of country looped using foreach, I want to be able to save the checkbox's status when I refresh the page. So for example if Japan is checked, it should stay checked when I refresh the page. How should I do it, I have seen some posts about using localstorage but does it work with my code that doesn't have an "id"? Is it possible to do it by "name="filter_country[]"? I also have a filter that is using "Radio" I am not sure if it works for both radio and checkbox.

<ul class="filter-country">
        <?php foreach($countries as $country):?>
        <li class="filter-child filter-item">
        <div class="checkbox">
          <label>
            <input type="checkbox" class="dir-filters filter-checkbox" name="filter_country[]" value="<?php echo $country;?>">
            <?php echo $country;?>
          </label>
        </div>
        </li>
        <?php endforeach;?>
