About cookies

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser  and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies can be used by web servers to identity and track users as they navigate different pages on a website and to identify users returning to a website.

Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies.

A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
