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?

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 your edits to a user account.

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.

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.

If you check the "remember my password" box on the login form, another cookie will be saved with a token that authenticates you to our servers (which is unrelated to your password). As long as this remains valid, you can bypass the login step on subsequent visits to the wiki. The cookie expires after 365 days, or is removed if you log out.
