What will be an ideal response?

There are two flavors of cookies:* Session cookies -Temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser at the end of your session. The next time you visit that site, it will not recognize you and will treat you as a completely new visitor as there is nothing on your computer to let the site know that you have visited before. Session cookies maintain state while you are connected to a given site, keeping track of which pages you have visited on that site and maintaining the followed/unfollowed color-markers of links within the site.* Persistent cookies-These remain on your hard drive until you erase them or they expire. How long a cookie remains on your hard drive depends on how long the visited Web site has programmed the cookie to last. Persistent cookies are sometimes used by advertisers to track your behavior on the Internet.
