The cookie will be placed each time you successfully log in to the authenticated area, and subsequently removed when you click to log out.
A cookie is also placed when a user selects their choice for cookie settings. This cookie stores the choices defined by the user, and remembers these settings until it's expiry, whereupon the website user will be invited to resubmit their choices.
