What Are Cookies?
A "cookie" is a small text file that a web site can
place on your computer's hard drive in order, for
example, to collect information about your activities
on the site or to make it possible for you to use an
online "shopping cart" to keep track of items you wish
to purchase. The cookie transmits this information
back to the web site's computer which, generally
speaking, is the only computer that can read it. Most
consumers do not know that "cookies" are being placed
on their computers when they visit web sites. If you
want to know when this happens, or to prevent it from
happening, you can set your browser to warn you when a
web site attempts to place a "cookie" on your
computer. |
