Session cookies: Session cookies last as long as your online session and disappear when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies have a fixed expiry date that means they stay on your device between online sessions even if you close your browser. This can be useful in situations where a website or web application needs to remember preferences from your last visit.
What do we use them for?
