Depending on their duration, cookies can be divided into:

  • Session cookies - These are deleted from your computer when you close the browser.
  • Persistent cookies - These remain intact after closing the browser, and they are only deleted after a very long time (depending on your browser and cookie settings). You can also remove them manually.
