 * Hi I noticed that you are using cookie based authorization to see if a person
   is logged in. Am I understanding this correctly? Is this completely secure as
   technically a person could copy/duplicate a cookie? Or no?
 * Thanks!

 * We support 2 types of authentications.
 * The basics one with cookies based is provided in our free plugin.
 * The advanced one and more secure approach is supported in our premium plugin 
   which is a session based authentication. This approach uses WordPress users session
   and roles to verify the access.
 * Let us know if you have any questions or concerns, We’d be happy to help.
 * Thanks
