Where below information gets saved

FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(
            1,                                      // Ticket version
            UserId,                                 // Username associated with the ticket
            DateTime.Now,                           // Date/time issued
            DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30),            // Date/time to expire
            false,                                  // Persistent user cookie
            "UserRole",                             // User data (e.g., role, other info)
            FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath);  // Cookie path

string encryptedTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);

HtpCookie authCookie = new HtpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encryptedTicket);
HtpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(authCookie);

Thanks

The user information (like UserId, UserRole, etc.) is encrypted and stored in the authentication cookie on the client-side (browser). On each request, this cookie is sent back to the server, where it is decrypted and used to authenticate the user.

So, the ticket information is stored within the cookie on the client's machine, and the encrypted data is used to maintain user authentication across requests.
