Other cookies "survive" the closure of the browser and are also available in future visits.These cookies are called persistent and their duration is set by the server at the time of their creation.

For example, in Firefox through the menu Tools-> Options -> Privacy, it is possibile to access to a control panel where you can specify whether or not to accept the different types of cookies and remove them.
