About Cookies
What are cookies? A "cookie" is a small piece of information that
is stored in your browser by Web sites that you visit. There are settings in your
browser that allow you to control how Web sites interact with your cookies.
What are cookies used for? Web sites commonly use cookies to remember
who you are each time you visit; these are "persistent" cookies. Other cookies
are used to distinguish you from other users during a single visit. These are
"session-based" cookies. When you leave a site or close your browser, session-based
cookies disappear.
Why are cookies important? Many web sites
cannot work properly if your cookies are disabled. Disabled cookies don't allow web sites to
remember you and many personalized actions such as logging in or making purchases will not work.
Are cookies safe? Yes. Cookies only store the information
that a Web site already has. In addition, cookies are specific to each Web site.
Therefore, other Web sites that you visit cannot access the data stored in cookies
that are not specific to them. Cookies do not contain, nor can they access, any
files that you have stored on your computer.
How do I change my cookie settings?
To change your cookie settings, open a browser window. Under the Tools
menu, select Options, and then select Privacy.
Under Cookies, check or uncheck the "Allow sites to set cookies"
option, and then select how long you want to keep cookies on your machine.
