, it may be saved for either a short or a long time.
Cookies may contain data such as login or registration information (i.e. online "shopping cart" information, user preferences, etc.).

, the server
is able to use the data stored in the Cookie

Cookies are usually set to expire after a predetermined amount of time, and are usually saved in browser’s memory until the software is closed, at which time they may be saved to disk if their "expire time" has not been reached. Cookies generally are not evasive to the end user; they are used to gather more data about a user and their visits than would be possible without them. In many instances, Cookies can be beneficial to both parties.
