There are two different types of cookies:

Session cookies - these are temporary and are erased when you close your browser at the end of your surfing session.
Saf-T-Pak uses this type of cookie on this site.

Persistent cookies - these remain on your hard drive until you erase them or they expire. How long a cookie remains on your browser depends on how long the visited website has programmed the cookie to last.

What does Saf-T-Pak use Session Cookies for?

Without cookies, websites and their servers have no memory. A cookie, like a key, enables swift passage from one place to the next. Without a cookie every time you open a new web page the server where that page is stored will treat you like a completely new visitor.

Websites typically use session cookies to ensure that you are recognised when you move from page to page within one site and that any information you have entered is remembered. For example, if an e-commerce site such as this one did not use session cookies, items placed in your shopping cart would disappear by the time you reach the checkout. Saf-T-Pak uses these session cookies for just this purpose.

You can choose to accept session cookies by changing the settings in your browser - for more information, please go to the manage cookies section.
