Question about Privacy Policy and cookies

I have a question which may be odd, as I can't find an answer...

I am not a programmer (developer) just a designer. I noticed that on my website under my Privacy Policy I have the
"we do not store or use cookies"
, I would like to know if my statement is correct given that I am using a CMS Made Simple site with a contact form, photo gallery and CGBlog.

So does my CMSMS installation use or store cookies of any sort? so that I can reword that. I think this is very important for anyone that has a website and requires a Private Policy.

Thank you all

This is where you need to know a bit more than how to use a graphical design tool. Wether your site uses cookies or not depends largely on how you've configured it.

CMSMS by default uses session cookies (a unique identifier string stored in a cookie that is used to uniquely identify a users session... it contains just a string, no personal or private information).

You can what cookies your sites stores easily enough by looking at your browsers saved cookies.
