Meta equiv cookie

< Meta HTTP-EQUIV = "set-cookie"

Cookies are strings of data that a web server sends to the browser. When a browser requests an object from the same domain in the future, the browser will send the same string of data back to the origin server.

The data is sent from the web server in the form of an HTTP header called “Set-Cookie”. The browser sends the cookie back to the server in an HTTP header called “Cookie”.

Key Takeaway

There are two sorts of cookies:

session cookies
If a cookie does not contain an expiration date, it is considered a session cookie
persistent cookies
If the cookie contains an expiration date, it is considered a persistent cookie

Session cookies are stored in memory and never written to disk. When the browser closes, the cookie is permanently lost from this point on.
