MYCB Cookie creates a cookie containing CB field values. Used to exchange information about the logged in user with software on your website that is not integrated with Joomla or CB. An SHA1 hash key allows secure identification, and mcrypt encryption provides decent privacy of data if required.
Most Joomla & CB addons would not need this cookie, since they can access the user information from the session and database queries. So what is this used for?
a) Single Sign On (SSO) for authenticating to applications on your website not connected to Joomla
b) User can set preferences for other tools on your website to customize their experience
c) Common advertising methods rely on cookies rather than custom MySQL query's
d) Anything you think of that requires you to access CB user data for a session
