<CookieOptions>

The CookieOptions element holds cookies used when retrieving files via HTTP during conversion of the document. Briefly, cookies allow web servers to store information on the client (e.g., requester, iSiloX) so that the information can be sent back to the web server. This information can be used for a variety of purposes such as maintaining a login state or for tracking purposes. For more information about cookies, please consult sources on the Web. By default, usage of cookies is disabled. These options require version 3.2 or later of iSiloX and iSiloXC.
