Cookies are small text files most web sites create on your computer to "remember" your visit. They keep you from having to constantly sign in to the site, or keep the site from having to request your name, password, etc, every time you want to do something.

For comparison, imagine you had no ability to remember names. You would have to request someone's name many times during a long conversation. But if you wrote it down, you could just consult your note each time. The computers that serve up web pages have no human memory. If they don't record some basic information about you each time you log in, they won't remember who you are or what you were working on.

After a predetermined amount of time, most cookies are deleted by your computer. At that time, you will need to sign in again to Realm.

On the website and in the Realm mobile apps, cookies last 30 days, and continually renews as long as you are active on the site or in the app.

You can view our company's policy on cookies and related issues at any time. Click your name in the upper-right corner, and select the Privacy link at the bottom of the menu.
