Difference in cookies set and those named in the documentation? (no replies)

Hi all -

I have searched the forums and documentation, so hopefully this isn't a duplicate!

I'm trying to write a cookie policy for my site detailing which cookies are set and for how long. So, I started at PIWIK FAQ 146 which tells me there are 4 cookies created by PIWIK:

_pk_ref
_pk_cvar
_pk_id
_pk_ses

HOWEVER- when I look at my actual cookies in my browser, I can't see any of these 4, but I do see 2 which look as though they may be new versions of them:

PIWIK_SESSID
piwik_auth

My browser tells me that these cookies expire at the end of the session; but the forums tell me that the cookies last for 2 years.

If someone had a second to help clear this up that would be very kind - in sum, looking to know which cookies are set, and how long they last for!

With thanks and best wishes-


Phil
