COOKIES

Some websites store information in small text files called a “cookie” on your hard drive. Cookies contain information about you and your preferences such as a record of pages visited within the sites. This helps customize the view for you the next time you visit. Only the information you provide or the choices you make while visiting a website can be stored in a cookie. For example, the site cannot determine your email address unless you choose to provide it. Allowing a website to create a cookie does not give that or any other site access to the rest of your computer and only the site that creates a cookie can read it. Cookies can be enabled/disabled by selecting Tools> Internet Options. Select the Security tab and then select Custom Level. The cookie settings will be displayed in the Security Settings dialog box. You have the choice whether or not to accept cookies; however, disabling cookies may cause some features to not work as intended. This web site uses cookies to record session information.
