q: What cookies are generally used in our MediaWikiEngine?
a: There is a technical description for the finer details at: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:FAQ/Technical
q: As the technical description is located at a Wiki with CcBySa Licence, why not copying the raw text there to here and adapting it step by step to the needs of AiPedia?
a: Here it is:
q: Does Aipedia use cookies?
- a:Cookies are not required to read or edit Wikipedia, but they are required in order to log in and link edits to user accounts.
- q: So 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.
- q:What if f or k forgets their password?
- If f or k checks the "remember my password" box on the login form, another cookie will be saved with a token that authenticates f or k to our WikiMediaEngine (which is unrelated to the password of f or k). As long as this remains valid, they can bypass the login steps on subsequent visits to the wiki. The cookie expires after 365 days, or is removed if they log out.
