Are there different kinds of cookies?
Yes, there are two commonly known types of cookies. One is called a “session” or “non-persistent cookie.” It is a cookie that only exists as long as your session on the web site lasts and expires as soon as you leave the web site. It is used to facilitate your activities within that site. The second type of cookie is a “persistent cookie”. It exists beyond the life of your session and may live for months or years. A persistent cookie is created in order to recognize users when they return to a website. It enables the site to offer a customized experience tailored to that user – such as remembering your name and password on protected login pages.
