How does it work?
A cookie is a small text file that a website requests to save on the visitor's computer. Cookies are used on many websites to give a visitor access to various features. The information in the cookie can also be used to track a user's browsing on websites that use the same cookie.
There are two types of cookies. One type saves a file for a longer period of time on the visitor's computer, the cookie then has an expiry date. It is used, for example, in functions that tell about what is new since the user last visited the current website last time. After the expiration date, the cookie is deleted when the user returns to the website that created it.
The other type of cookies are called session cookies and have no expiration date. While a user is browsing a page, this cookie is temporarily stored in the user's computer's memory, for example to keep track of which language he has chosen. Session cookies are not stored for a long time on the user's computer, but disappear when the user closes their browser.
