Eploy sites on the Connect platform generally do not make extensive use of cookies as they use the database to store most user information required. There are, however, some details that need to be stored in a cookie. This document lists the cookies used, and describes their purpose.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that are only used whilst the user is logged in to the website. Eploy uses one session cookie containing a unique session ID, keeping the user logged in to the system if they close the browser and re-open it. The name of the cookie is ASP.NET_SessionId. This does not store any personal or identifying data.
Permanent Cookies
Permanent cookies are stored as files on the user’s computer for a limited time, allowing the site to retrieve information for subsequent sessions. By default, these cookies will expire after one year.
Eploy uses six permanent cookies, which are described below:
