The session cookie disappears when you close your browser, while ordinary cookies are saved on your computer for a long time. If you do not accept cookies some of the website functions will not work.

you can choose to say no to cookies through a setting in your browser.

How do I delete my cookies?
Cookie files are saved as simple text files that can be deleted. To delete cookies, first close your browser. In Netscape you move the cookies.txt file to trash. In IE cookies are saved in a separte folder under Documents and Settings.
