A "cookie" is a string of information, often a unique identifier, that is stored on a visitor's computer and can be used to keep track of a user while interacting with the website.
There are two types of cookie:

• permanent cookies, which remain on a visitor's computer for a certain, pre-determined duration (days, months, or even years)
• session cookies, which are stored temporarily in the computer memory and disappear when the visitor closes the web browser.

On this website a session cookie is used to store a session ID on your computer. This ID is required to identify logged-in users and give them access to their user pages. No permanent cookies are used. You can disable the use of cookies in the security settings of your web browser. If you have deactivated cookies you can still view the Psicodebate website and read the articles. However, if you want to log in, e.g., to submit a manuscript, you have to enable session cookies to be saved on your computer during your visit of the website.
