    The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
    Cookies can be either "persistent cookies" or "session cookies": a persistent cookie is stored by a browser and remains valid until the specified expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user's session, when the browser is closed.
