I don't think cannabis does well in freezeing temps for seeds, its not a plant that need a cold scarification in order to germinate and long term cold storage could dry em out to much. I store mine in little tubes inside the fridge 4c, and before that I stored them in a drawer that was dark inside sealed jars. Had things germinate out of that method that where 3 years old. Can't reply to your own question anymore because morons wined that people where using that to cheat in a contest about getting questions answered and they would answer their own question for more points... but its very easy to see and fix. You can however use your DM inbox. its the little paper airplane looking icon in the bottom right. Its grey when theirs no new messages/empty and green when you have new ones.

Rate of good dropped like 80% after fridge ( despite beeing at the back of shelf) after first year. Dark place, with stable humidity, with constant temps, something like basement cupboard or some storage place in the house with stablelish 17-21 all year long and i had 6-8 from 10 even after 5 years. I use soup thermos as extra to stabilize temps and humifity. My personal experience is this ....

If you want to freeze the seeds, you need to make sure they are completely dry first and properly sealed. I would rather go for a fridge personally, the temps are low enough to store them safely for a few years. Using them after being cold, it's important to let the seeds get to room temperature before opening the pack. Cold seeds will get condensation on and if you're not planning on using them all, what you put back in the fridge or freezer has a high chance of being damp and that will cause trouble.

Hello there good morning I think freezing would be an option Personally I would leave the seeds in the sealed bags they came if you don't have a sealed bag morning want to remove them I would put seeds in small paper envelopes. Then I would get some new mason jars and store the envelopes in mason jars. I would Personally leave then in a sparebed room closet where the temp does not change much. If you wanted to go to the extra ypu could install a dehumidifier and an air-conditioner in the closet keeping the temp at around 55 to 60 degrees and humidity at 40%
