What are session cookies?

Cookies are very small text files that are sent transparently to your internet browser by web sites.  Your browser stores them on your computer.  In some browsers you can examine the cookies that it is storing for you. 

A cookie file contains a time at which the cookie will “expire”, a domain for which the cookie is valid and a small amount of free-form information.  Our cookies expire after you have closed your browser unless you have enabled the “remember me” function, in which the case the cookie will last for [1 year] from the date that you last accessed Tagseasy.

In a session cookie, the free-form information will just be a unique id. 

Each time your browser visits a site for which a cookie’s domain is valid, it will send the cookie back to the site (unless the cookie has expired).  When we receive the cookie, our systems will extract the unique id and will use this to ensure a consistent user experience for you on Tagseasy.
