These cookies contain a user’s authentication details, and the settings for the admin area interface. Login cookies in WordPress expire every 15 days.
This cookie doesn’t store any personal information about the visitor, their computer, their visit or browsing history. When the browser tab or window is closed or after an inactivity timeout, the cookie’s validity is destroyed and the browser removes the cookie from the visitor’s computer.
Third-party cookies
The aim of a third-party cookie is to collect information to research a user’s behaviour, their demographics and to enable target marketing. They are set by a different website which means you can turn them off but not through us.
