WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are small bits of text that are downloaded to your browser
as you surf the web. Their purpose is to carry bits of useful
information about your interaction with the website that sets the
Cookies. Cookies do not contain software programs, which means
Cookies cannot install any software programs on your computer.
Generally, Cookies do not contain any Personal Information that
would identify you. Cookies usually contain a string of text or
"unique identifier" which acts like a label. When a website sees the
string of text which was set in a Cookie, the website knows the
browser is one that it has seen before. The website can then use the
information to present you with custom web pages. For example,
instead of seeing a generic welcome page, you might see a welcome
page with your name on it.
Please note, if you use a different computer, open a new web
browser, or delete cookies, the website will treat you as if you
have just arrived on the website for the first time and a new cookie
will be set on the computer or other device you are on.
