Cookies

Salesforce issues a session cookie to record encrypted authentication information for the duration of a specific session.

The session cookie does not include the user's username or password. Salesforce does not use cookies to store other confidential user and session information, but instead implements more advanced security methods based on dynamic data and encoded session IDs.
