Coolish dry storage is fine if the containers are good and sealed. Like the kitchen cupboard or closet shelf somewhere that doesn’t get any sunlight and temps are stable

How long you storing for? Long term? Years? I put them into little plastic or glass viles with a bunch of moisture absorbing beads. Like in those little packets that come in your new shoes. Then those go into a mylar bag with a full pack of the moisture absorber, then that goes into a freezer ziplock bag (that has more of those packs in it) and into the butter compartment in the fridge. I've cracked 10yr old seeds with little issue. (Old tga subcool stock). You can freeze them too, but I have no exp with doing that so I cannot comment on the effectiveness of said method.

Freezing is only good if you are going long term in a dedicated freezer. Your household freezer will be opened and closed too frequently which risks condensation buildup.

You might not want one with auto defrost either. I don't know though, that's just a guess.

In a box, in a dresser, in the lung room.

Refrigerator for use in the next 2-5 years, freezer beyond that. Store with rice in a light proof container and they will be fine in a normal refrigerator or freezer.
Personally I have a dedicated mini fridge for seeds but then again I have a problem with collecting seeds

I have mine in original packages in a ziploc bag with some desiccant packs, then in another ziploc bag and in the back of my fridge. Seems to work.

They pics are from last year buddy, but yeah I felt obligated to grow them.
I'd prepared seeds already before I noticed them.
So I ordered 10x 3ltr air pot and a bag of coco so I could make the best of them.
It didn't work out as planned, i used the worst rw cubes imaginable for convenience in the circumstances
I should've bought grodan i knew they cubes were crap tho i didn't expect that.
I saved two and flowered one, it was a nice taste but a poor yeilder, all in a waste of time, money and effort lol.
