Where is Safari web data stored?

I know you can use the Manage Website Data... button to view and delete data, but I'd really like to know where that information is stored. In other words, what file(s) contain the data?


Specifically, Safari 10 and Mac OS 10.12.1 on a MBA.


Does anyone know?


Thank you.

MacBook Air, macOS Sierra (10.12), 4 GB RAM
