Cookies and duration

Hi there,

A brand new Matomo user here :slight_smile:

We set up Matomo on various of our sites and everthing seems to work just fine.
According to new EU laws we need to inform our vistitors about the data we gather, including cookies.

Now Matomo is using 2 cookies in our case:

_pk_ses
_pk_id

What functions do these cookies have and what’s their duration?

Can someone help us out? Thanks!

the duration of these cookies only stay till the user is on the session, after he quit the website the session is destroyed and cookie is saved into temporary folder.
