What is a Cookie?
A Cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit certain websites.
Session Cookies are temporary and expire once you leave the site. Session Cookies allow a website to recognize you and carry information back to you as you navigate between pages and allow you to use the website more efficiently.
"Persistent cookies", on the other hand, remain in your browser's cookie file even after you leave a website, i.e. even when you close your browser. They allow the website to recognise you as soon as you come back to visit it by remembering your preferences and providing services tailored to you.
