- An expiry date (how long the cookie will remain on your device)
How Cookies Work: When you visit a website, your browser downloads and stores these small files. When you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the website, allowing it to recognise your device and remember information about your visit.
Session Cookies
Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. These help websites remember your actions during a browsing session.
Persistent Cookies
Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. These remember your preferences across multiple visits.
