When I connect to a webpage the page downloads on to my computer. When
the page has finished downloading, am I correct in thinking that the
connection between me and the web server terminates?

And then if I click on another link in the same site or refresh the
page, then I reconnect from scratch again? And that the webpage knows
who I am (say if it's webmail) because of the cookie?

IOW, once the page has downloaded, the link between me and the website
is over - until I request another page/graphic/text on that site?

Thanks.
