Session (or Transient) Cookies
A session cookie lasts only for the duration of a user’s visit to a website. A web browser normally deletes session cookies when the user leaves the website and closes the browser. The cookies become inaccessible after the session has been inactive for a time, and are automatically deleted from your computer when the browser is closed. Session cookies allow you to move from page to page without having to login or re-submit details each time.

Persistent (or Permanent) Cookies
Persistent cookies are stored on the user’s computer and are not deleted when the browser is closed. These cookies are used to record your preferences in order to present information relevant to you the next time you visit the website. They are also used to collect information about numbers of visitors, the average time spent on a particular page, and to analyse shopping behaviour on the website. This information is used to find out how well the website works and where it can be improved.

Flash Cookies (or Locally Shared Objects)
You probably have Adobe Flash installed on your computer. Websites that contain Flash can store small files on your computer that are used in the same way as cookies. Flash cookies can also back up data stored in other cookies. When you delete cookies, your Flash cookies are not affected. So a website may still recognise you if it backed up deleted cookies information in a Flash cookie.
