About cookies

Cookies are text files often containing a unique identifier. Cookies are sent by a web server to a web navigator and then returned to the web server when a browser seeks to access a web page
Web servers use cookies to identify and track users when they access different pages of a website and to identify users accessing the same website more than once. Cookies facilitate browsing and ensure that your connection is secure.

A permanent cookie remains effective until the expiry date set (unless the user removes it prior to the expiry date). A temporary (or “session”) cookie expires when the web browser is closed at the end of the user’s browsing session.
