2. Table/list with the type of cookies used by the website and their purpose

Without plugins installed, WordPress sets the following cookies:

• wordpress_[hash]
• wordpress_logged_in_[hash]
• wordpress_test_cookie
• wp-settings-{time}-[UID]

These are the cookies that activate in the admin area of the website.

WordPress uses the cookie wordpress_[hash] to store the authentication details on login. The authentication details include the username and double hashed copy of the password. However, this usage of the cookie is limited to the admin console area, the backend dashboard of the website. 

The cookie wordpress_logged_in_[hash] is used to indicate when you are logged in, and who you are. This cookie is maintained on the front-end of the website as well when logged in.

Here [hash] represents the value that is obtained by applying a specific mathematical formula applied to the username and password. It is to ensure that the input values are safe, and no one can access these data using the cookies as it is difficult to ‘unhash’ the hashed data.

The cookie wp-settings-{time}-[UID] is used to customize the view of your admin interface and the front-end of the website. The value represented by [UID] is the individual user ID of the user as given to them in the users’ database table.

WordPress also sets a cookie named wordpress_test_cookie to check if the cookies are enabled on the browser to provide appropriate user experience to the users. This cookie is used on the front-end, even if you are not logged in.

Apart from these, WordPress also uses:

wp-saving-post: it lets the admins restore data for a post that is currently being edited if a saved version exists.

wporg_logged_in, wporg_sec: it checks if the current visitor is a logged-in WordPress user. The expiration period of this cookie is 14 days if the user has consented to let the site remember the login credentials. Else, it acts as a session cookie.

Below listed are the cookies set for commenters.

• comment_author_[hash]
• comment_author_email_[hash]
• comment_author_url_[hash]

The cookie comment_author_[hash] cookie remembers the value entered into the comment form’s name field.

The cookie comment_author_email_[hash] remembers the value entered into the comment form’s email field.

The cookie comment_author_url_[hash] remembers the value entered into the comment form’s URL field.
