The PT-DLR uses so-called session cookies so that you can order brochures from any web page of the PT-DLR's web offering and place your order in a shopping basket. Session cookies are small information units that a provider stores in the active memory of the visiting user's computer. A randomly generated, unique ID number, a so-called session ID, is stored in a session cookie. A cookie also contains information as to its origin and the period of time it is to reside on a computer. These cookies cannot store any further types of data.
