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. Many 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.
