A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) 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 “persistent” or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie is stored by the browser and remains valid until its expiration date, unless deleted by the user before that expiration date; a session cookie, on the other hand, expires at the end of the user session, when the browser is closed. Cookies generally do not contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
