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. The browser stores the message in a text file. The message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
Cookies may be “persistent” cookies, “session” cookies or “third-party” cookies. The persistent cookie, also called a permanent cookie, or a stored cookie, a cookie that is stored on your hard drive until it expires (persistent cookies are set with expiration dates) or until the user deletes the cookie.; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed. Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently on. As with standard cookies, third-party cookies are placed so that a site can remember something about you at a later time.
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
