How Government Websites use cookies
The cookie settings on this website are set to allow all cookies to give you the best experience. Please see below details of the cookies that are being set and how to delete them should you choose to do so.
Cookie Information
| Name ASP.NET_SessionId | Type Session | Domain www.n-kesteven.gov.uk | Expires At end of session |
| When you navigate to the site, the server establishes a unique session for you that lasts for the duration of your visit. For each session, ASP.NET maintains session state information where applications can store user-specific information. ASP.NET must track a session ID for each user so that it can map the user to session state information found on the server. By default, ASP.NET uses a non-persistent cookie to store the session state. However, if a user has disabled cookies on the browser, session state information cannot be stored in a cookie. The information stored on the server will remain in the server’s memory until the session is either explicitly removed or expired (by default a session expires after 20 minutes of inactivity). The cookie itself contains no personal information. | |||
