When user ratings are enabled we store a wpzoom-user-rating-recipe-%recipe_ID cookie (with %recipe_ID% the ID of the recipe post) that contains the rating this user has given to a particular recipe. And we store a wpzoom-not-logged-user-id cookie (with generated random string ID as value) if user is not logged in. This cookies is used as (one of the) measures to prevent rating spam. Following cookies wpzoom-user-rating-recipe-%recipe_ID% are stored for 365 days (one year) and wpzoom-not-logged-user-id are stored for 7 days.
