Questions tagged [session-cookies]

Session cookies enable a server and a browser to establish an identified connection (through cookies) and communicate though it.

Session cookies are temporary files that exist for a particular user for a pre-defined duration. Once this duration is expired, the session cookies are erased.

Session cookies allow a website to keep a state or memory of the visitor as they navigate between pages of the website.
