A Client needs to write a private policy on his website. He asks - the dynamicweb system saves a cookie on the client machine, what is the use for that cookie? He needs a precise description. (the DW support can´t answer the question, so the question is for a DW developer)
When a user visits a Dynamicweb solution, a cookie is set with a timestamp for the visit. This timestamp is used the next time the visitor visits the site to indicate if it is a returning visitor or a new visitor. The cookie has an expiration time of 30 years.
If the solution has extranet, cookies are set if the visitors checks remember username and password.
On eCommerce solutions cookies are used to store cart id.
If the page feature "favorites" is used, page ids i stored in a cookie.
Poll module stores information about which polls the visitor has submitted.
News modules stores information about what news are shown when running personalized news.
I think thats about it.
