(2) 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, 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 used by web servers
to identity and track users as they navigate different pages on a
website and to identify users returning to a website.
Cookies may be either "persistent"
cookies or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a
text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be
stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry
date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). A session
cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user
session, when the web browser is closed.
(3) Cookies on this
website
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies on this
website.
