What Are Cookies?
A

unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks
your computer
for permission to store this file in a part of your
hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send
its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it,
but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to
access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to
you by other sites.
Browsers are usually set to accept cookies.
However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the
configuration of your browser to refuse cookies.
If you choose to
