jQuery($ => {
  let $headings = $('.heading');
  var prevData = [];
    if(localStorage.getItem('prevData')){
    var prevData = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('prevData'));
    if(prevData && prevData.length>0){
    prevData.forEach((e)=>{
        if(prevData.includes(e)){
      let $el = $('.col' + e).toggle();
    let colspan = $('table tbody tr:first > td:visible').length / $headings.length;
    $headings.prop('colspan', colspan);
      }
        
    })
    }
  }
  $('.hide').on('click', e => {
    let $el = $('.col' + e.target.dataset.targetIndex).toggle();
    if(!(prevData && prevData.length>=0)){
        prevData=[];
    }
    var prevIndex = prevData.indexOf(e.target.dataset.targetIndex);
    if(prevIndex>=0){
    prevData.splice(prevIndex, 1);
    }else{
    prevData.push(e.target.dataset.targetIndex);
    }
    
    localStorage.setItem('prevData', JSON.stringify(prevData));
    let colspan = $('table tbody tr:first > td:visible').length / $headings.length;
    $headings.prop('colspan', colspan);
      
});
});

If it’s not important to use local storage you can use Cookies for that. I wrote some functions for that:

export function getDocumentCookie(cname) {
    let name = cname + "=";
    let decodedCookie = decodeURIComponent(document.cookie);
    let ca = decodedCookie.split(';');
    for (let i = 0; i < ca.length; i++) {
        let c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0) === ' ') {
            c = c.substring(1);
        }
        if (c.indexOf(name) === 0) {
            return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
        }
    }
    return undefined;
}
export function setDocumentCookie(name, value, days) {
    if (document.cookie.toString().match(/ + name + =/g)) {
        document.cookie.replace(/ + name + =*; path=//g, "");
    }
    let expires = "";
    if (days) {
        const date = new Date();
        date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
        expires = "; expires=" + date.toUTCString();
    }
    document.cookie = name + "=" + (value || "") + expires + "; path=/";
}

setDocumentCookie("myToggle", state)
