“Session cookies” allow websites to link the actions of a user only during a browser session for example to remember items that have been put in a shopping basket or for security reason when a user is accessing internet banking. These session cookies expire after a browser session is closed/terminated and are not stored any longer.

“Persistent cookies” are stored on a user’s device in between browser sessions which allow preferences or actions of the user to be remembered. They may be used for a variety of purposes including remembering user’s preferences and choices when using a site. For example: to remember your preferred language.
