How It Works 


Your server sends some data to the visitor's browser in the form 
of a cookie. The browser may accept the cookie. If it does, it 
is stored as a plain text record on the visitor's hard drive. 
Now, when the visitor arrives at another page on your site, 
the cookie is available for retrieval. Once retrieved, your 
server knows/remembers what was stored. 

Cookies are a plain text data record of 5 variable-length fields: 

• Expires: This showsthe date the cookie will expire. If this is 
blank, the cookie will expire when the visitor quits the browser. 

• Domain: This is the domain name of your site. 

• Path: This is the path to the directory or web page that sets 
the cookie. This may be blank if you want to retrieve the cookie 
from any directory or page. 

• Secure: If this field contains the word "secure" then the 
cookie may only be retrieved with a secure server. If this 
field is blank, no such restriction exists. 

• Name=Value: Cookies are set and retrieved in the form of 
key and value pairs.
