The Petronect security structure was designed following the highest standard practices for financial and confidential transactions. The data travelling in the system is cryptographed, so no one has access. In addition, the designed technical structure comprises two firewalls, that act as additional barriers to protect the transactional environment.

A cookie is a small text file created on a computer hard drive to store the web pages a person visits.

This file is used to help a computer browser to transit through the website using all the resources available on it (e.g. logins, preferences, themes, language choice).

It is worth mentioning that a cookie only helps the browser, it does not collect information about users since the cookie data comes from the website server. The cookie only identifies you as the same browser that has visited the same website.

This mechanism is useful for session management (keeping you logged in throughout a single user session), login persistence (the "remember me" or "stay logged in" feature) and tab browsing. In brief, if a cookie is read by a browser it can help a website to improve the service provided.

R

A cookie is something like abc@example.com.txt. The text file would look like some random numbers:

HMP1 1 example.com/ 0 4058205869

384749284 403847430 3449083948 *

The number sequences in this example are meaningful codes only to the software that originates them. Generally, it is hardly more than a string of characters (or unique identification string), although they are sometimes used for data storage.

In any case, viewing a cookie file shows nothing relevant.

R

In most cases, there are two types of "lifetime" of a cookie: temporary and persistent.

Temporary cookies remain in the cookie file of the browser until the user leaves the website. These cookies are not stored on the hard drive of the computer but rather in the active memory. Thus, they will be deleted when the user ends the session or is inactive for a while. Session cookies are an example of this category.

Persistent cookies remain in the cookie file longer and their lifetime depends on the cookie type. These cookies are used to identify the user over several independent sessions. They can refer for example to certain websites functionalities such as "keep me logged in," or personalized ads aimed at particular users. Primary cookies are an example of this type.

R

The primary protocol used in web browsing to communicate with a web server is HTTP - This defines an inherently stateless and session-less computing experience (i.e., each page load, each request, is an independent event, unrelated to previous or subsequent events).

This is fine for viewing some documents someone has put on your server, but anything more complicated - like logging in and getting user-specific content - requires some kind of persistence mechanism, something warning the server that user's current request is related to the previous one, that both come from the same person on the same computer.

Cookies do this, the server sends it to your browser and your browser stores it. On subsequent page loads, the browser informs the server of the relevant cookies then stored. The server reads them and knows that this is the same browser as before.

In short, cookies are necessary for better overall usability of the website.
