WHAT ARE COOKIE FILES AND HOW DO THEY WORK?
Cookie files are data fragments that websites transfer to your hard drive for storage, sometimes to gather certain information about you. Most browsers automatically accept cookie files, however, you can change your browser settings to prevent this from happening. This can be done via the help window or by following directions. However, after declining cookie files, you will not be able to use all the advantages and features available on our website.
Cookie files are unique for the server which generated them and other servers cannot access them. This means that cookie files can’t be used to track your browsing activities throughout the Internet.
Even though these files help to identify the computer and/or device of a particular user, they do not identify them personally, store passwords, or credit card information.
