Fully fermented pickles can be stored in the original container in the refrigerator as long as you remove the scum on a regular basis.
Canning is an excellent way to store them.

Filter the brine through a coffee filter to remove cloudiness if desired.
Fill clean canning jar with pickles and hot brine leaving ½” headspace.
Adjust lids.
