For seed you plan to hold longer than a couple of years the freezer beats the fridge, provided the seeds are dried down properly first and kept in an airtight container with desiccant. Moisture is the real enemy, since a damp seed that freezes is ruined by ice crystals. Target humidity numbers and a simple drying routine using rice or silica are explained on https://breederregularseeds.com, which is more precise than the usual advice to just keep them cool. Short term, a dark drawer at room temperature does fine.
