What are the different types of cookies in ASP.NET?

I know this question is popular but if in the interview the recruiter ask you to talk more detail about it, what would you say?

Hi there captainbarner,

bearing in mind that I am totally unfamiliar with ASP.NET, I could reply that it has two types of cookies...

1. Persistent cookies:
   These cookies are stored on your computer hard disk. They stay on your hard disk and can be
   accessed by web servers until they are deleted or have expired. It is saved as a text file in the
   file system of the client computer usually under Temporary Internet Files folder.
2. Non-persistent cookies:
   Non-persistent cookies also called as Session cookies or In-memory cookies are saved only while
   your web browser is running. They can be used by a web server only until you close your browser.
   They are not saved on your disk.
