Cookies
Cookies are a general mechanism which
server-side programs (such as CGI scripts) can use to both store and retrieve
information on the client side of the connection. This means that applications
can leave information on your workstation for later use to "remember"
information that may be specific to your use of the application from that
workstation.
Cookies are stored, retrieved and deleted by your browser
responding to commands from an application like WebSite Director (WSD). Each
cookie has a "persistence date" attached to it. If you turn on cookie warnings
for your browser you will see this immediately following the cookie's label and
value as the last item of information (for example: "This cookie will persist
until Mon Jan 18 18:58:27 2038").
In addition to specific dates, there are two generic date
values that can be defined when a cookie is generated. CyberTeams products use
only these two generic date values, as follows:

betweeen the time the user requests the relogon and the successful validation of
the user's username/password combination. The Relogon process works as follows:
Note: the Expired date
