Chatware uses the persistent cookie to retain a unique ID which helps us to map the user to his previous chats and interactions with us in the secured server. We do not store any personal information in the persistent cookie, but simply use the code stored in it to link with the visitor’s history in the server. This allows the chat support personnel using the Chatware service to easily identify you and your previous requests, and continue from that point forward in the chat.
