Cookies Used by Cloud Services

Oracle Utilities cloud services use several cookies for managing the behavior of the service.

The table below provides information that may assist you when you configuring cookie controls at the network level.

All cookies except for ORA_OUAF_Login_language cookie, are session cookies that are stored in memory and are removed when the browser or session is closed.

Cookie	Usage
ORA_OUAF_Login_language	This is a persistent cookie that is used to store the users preferred language used for the provided login screen. For details of its contents refer to Do Weblogic CCB Cookies Contain Any Trace Information? (Doc ID: 2443627.1) available from My Oracle Support.
JSESSIONID	The JSESSIONID cookie, which expires when the user's browsing session ends, helps the server to manage user sessions. It is a standard container cookie. While not accessible to scripts, this cookie can be deleted from the client-side. However, the cookie will be re-sent during the next request from the user. This cookie tracks each request from the same browser, ensuring that the same session data is available on the server side. It does not contain any personal data. This cookie is automatically secured by the cloud service.
ORA_OUAF_Language	This is an internal cookie that stores the active language used by the browser. This may change if the user switches languages during the session. The cookie is used by the server to render the screen using the language correctly.
ORA_OUAF_Language_Dir	This is an internal cookie that stores the active language direction used by the browser. This may change if the user switches languages during the session. The cookie is used by the server to render the screen using the language correctly. By default, it is set to ltr for most implementations and rtl for Arabic implementation.
ORA_OUAF_Locale_Info	This is an internal cookie that stores the locale information used for sorting. This may change if the user switches languages during the session.
ORA_OUAF_SESSION_EXP ORA_OUAF_SERVER_TIME ORA_OUAF_CLIENT_TM_OFFSET	This is a set of internal cookies that are used to determine inactivity timeouts for user sessions. It is used by the server to inform the user of the session timeout.
ORA_OUAF_START_LOGIN	This is an internal cookie used to whether the login screen used so that it can be reused for the session timeout. This value is determined from the server configuration.
