A:
iChain places a session cookie into the browser memory, which contains a randomly generated number that identifies the connection on the iChain proxy server. Absolutely no personal information is held in this cookie. iChain also maintains content confidentiality by securing the data flow with the Secure Session and injecting No Cache commands.
