3. What are the different types of cookies we use at SEK International School – Guayaquil?
Session cookies expire when the user leaves the page or closes the browser; that is, they are active for the duration of the visit to the website and are therefore deleted from the user’s computer when the user leaves.
Permanent cookies expire when their intended purpose is fulfilled or when they are manually deleted. They have a deletion date and are typically used in online purchasing, personalization, or registration processes so that we don’t have to constantly enter our passwords.
