Difference Between Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies in ASP.NET

Question

Hi What is the difference between Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies in ASP.NET ?

Satyapriya Nayak · Answer

Hi Arun Persistent Cookies are same as Session Cookies except that persistent cookies have an expiration date. The expiration date indicates to the browser that it should write the cookie to the client's hard drive. Keep in mind that because a user can delete cookies from their machine that there is no guarantee that a cookie you drop on a user machine will be there the next time they visit your site Please refer the below links http://venkataspinterview.blogspot.in/2008/07/aspnet-interview-questions-on-cookies.html http://www.dotnetfunda.com/interview/exam414-what-is-the-difference-between-session-cookies-and-persistent-cookies.aspx Thanks
