Persistent cookie: Persistent cookie files remain in your browser’s subfolder and are activated again once you visit the website that created that particular cookie, e.g. Remember Me
A persistent cookie remains in the browser’s subfolder for the duration period set within the cookie’s file. They have a defined TTL (Time To Live) and will expire after this time.
