A non-persistent cookie enables a website to temporarily keep information on your computer as you travel from one page to another on our website.

A persistent cookie is kept even when you close your browser. You can manually delete these cookies using commands specific to your browser and computer system. These cookies store information that would generally not change from session to session. They also contain information that would need to be reentered by you each time you visit the website. For example, a common use of persistent cookies is to allow a registered website visitor to enter the website without having to specify their username and password.
