  • of “session” that are stored on the user’s computer for purely technical and functional requirements, for the transmission of session identifiers required to enable a safe and efficient site exploration; they are canceled at the end of the “session” (hence the name) when the browser is closed.

  • “persistent” that are stored on your computer hard drive until they expire or cancellation by users / visitors.

The user is allowed, however, to change the default configuration and disable cookies (ie to block finally them), by setting the higher security level.
