istuntoevästeiden

Istuntoevästeet, also known as session cookies, are temporary text files that websites use to store information about a user's current visit. Unlike persistent cookies that remain on a user's device for a set period, session cookies are automatically deleted when the user closes their web browser.

The primary purpose of session cookies is to maintain user state and facilitate seamless navigation during a single browsing session. For example, when you log into a website, a session cookie is often created to remember that you are logged in. This prevents you from having to re-enter your credentials on every subsequent page you visit within that session. Similarly, they are used to keep track of items in an online shopping cart, allowing you to add or remove products without losing your selections as you move between different pages of the e-commerce site.

Session cookies are generally considered less privacy-invasive than persistent cookies because they do not track users across multiple visits or for extended periods. They are essential for the proper functioning of many interactive websites and online services. Without them, many web applications would be unable to provide a personalized and convenient user experience.
