WordPress User Cookies
Users are those people who have registered an account with this website, ie me.
On login, WordPress uses the wordpress_[hash] cookie to store my authentication details. Its use is limited to the Administration Screen area.
After login, WordPress sets the wordpress_logged_in_[hash] cookie, which indicates when I'm logged in, and who I am, for most interface use.
WordPress also sets a few wp-settings-{time}-[UID] cookies. These are used to customize my view of admin interface, and possibly also the main site interface.

Thanks for another compline season. This evening was an especially memorable and beautiful period of contemplation. My only suggestion for future years is maybe to have five minutes of quiet contemplative instrumental music at the start… This would both ‘set the mood’ and would allow those that can’t make the effort to get there on time to come in without disturbing us and (more importantly) you…!
Kind regards.
Laurence
Thank you Laurence, for your kind words and your suggestion, which we will bear in mind for (hopefully!) next time
