Hello!

Our Mandatory Browser Security System uses one cookie:

> NAME: `__test`  
> PURPOSE: “Browser Verification. Used In connection with `i=1`. More info: [Browser Security System - Features and Limitations](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/browser-security-system-features-and-limitations/49353)”

And to my knowledge, if you are using PHP, there is also this cookie:

> NAME: `PHPSESSID`  
> PURPOSE: “PHP Session ID - Server ID”

I use a banner like this to disclose my purpose for cookies:

> **Essential Cookies Only:** (My site) uses only essential cookies required for functionality - browser verification and session management. We don’t use tracking, advertising, or personalization cookies. Your privacy is protected.

I am human, while I strive to provide the most accurate information, I can’t guarantee the validity of information.
