Reduce Cookie Size

Cookies are used for a variety of reasons such as authentication and personalisation.  It's important to keep the size of cookies as low as possible to minimize the impact on the customer’s response time.  Unfortunately, PrestaShop’s cookie can become quite big and there isn’t much you can do about it.  The one thing you can do to improve the cookie speed is to use mcrypt instead of BlowFish.  To do this, go to Preferences > Performance and change the “Ciphering Algorithm” to “Use Rijndael with mcrypt lib.”
