Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies, depending on how long they are used.
2.5
Persistent cookies stay on your device after you have closed your browser, and allow a website to remember your actions and preferences. They are activated every time you visit the website where the cookie was generated. Sometimes persistent cookies are used by websites to provide targeted advertising based on your browsing history. They are stored by the browser and remain valid until their set expiry date (unless you delete the cookie before its expiry date).
2.6
Session cookies only last as long as you’re on the website, and they’re deleted when you close your browser. They help us keep track of things like how a particular device is navigating from page to page. This supports the website’s security or basic functionality.
2.7
Many of the cookies we use are session cookies. For example, they help us to ensure that your session is secure, and allow you to stay signed in to your Candor account while you move between pages.
