Cookie files

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

Cookies may be either "permanent" cookies or "session" files: a permanent cookie will be stored in a web browser and will remain valid until the expiration date specified unless it is deleted by the user prior to the expiration date. Cookie sessions expire at the end of the user session when the web browser is hijacked.

Cookies typically do not contain any information that personally identifies the user, but the personal information we store may be linked to the information stored in the cookies and obtained from them.
