-<p>The essential one is the session cookie, usually called <b>MoodleSession</b>.  You must allow this cookie 
-   into your browser to provide continuity and maintain your login from page to page. When you log out or 
-   close the browser this cookie is destroyed (in your browser and on the server).</p>
-
-<p>The other cookie is purely for convenience, usually called something like <b>MOODLEID</b>.  It just remembers 
-   your username within the browser. This means when you return to this site the username field on the 
-   login page will be already filled out for you. It is safe to refuse this cookie - you will just have 
-   to retype your username every time you log in.</p>
