ELI5: In our immune system, how do the cells (whichever ones are appropriate) recognize and store the information of previous pathogens, and where in the body is that information stored?

Follow up: Does that information deteriorate or do these cells 'forget'?
Edit: If you're able to answer the question, but can't ELI5, then maybe explain in a way that a lay-person would understand i.e. not jargon-heavy.
