			q: So in the beta phase there are no permanent cookies but only for the users f=fridemar and k=falk?

			a: Yes. E.g when f logs in, the wiki sets a temporary session cookie which identifies f's login session; this will be expired when f's browser exits (or after an inactivity timeout), and is not saved on f's hard drive.

			q:What permanent cookies are set for f and k?

			a:Another cookie will be saved which lists the user name (f or k) who last logged in under, to make subsequent logins just a teensy bit easier. (Actually two: one with your name, and one with your account's internal ID number; they must match up.) These cookies expire after 365 days.
