Our use of cookies
A Cookie is a temporary ID that is stored in a file on your computer, to identify your future visits and certain data will be sent to your computer by a web server that will record your actions on a website. When you visit the website again after the cookie is initiated, the website will load certain pages according to the information stored in the cookie.
Every time you start the web browser, a browser session is started. A local session ID is therefore created by the web browser to communicate with web servers. These sessions are temporary, and the web server only remembers sessions for a certain amount of time. In the Global Configuration of a website, it may be configured as "Session Lifetime" variable under "Session Settings".
Sessions are necessary to identify page requests. Therefore, where the session is stored would depend on the content management system that is employed in the development of a website.
