browser sessions. Sometimes there is a good reason for this, and the user's life is a bit easier as a result. But
there is a long history of some websites taking advantage of this layer of trust, and using the data they glean
from you and your browsing habits for their own purposes, and maybe to your potential detriment. Such sites are
using you and storing their data on your system. That is why the privacy conscious watch from whom those cookies
