Cookies are simply bits of information,
small text files (usually less than 1K in size), that your
browser picks up at many websites and stores on your hard
drive.
You. Yes, that's right. The data stored
on the text files comes from information you have supplied.
In this case, it stores the item that you placed in our shopping
cart so that our shopping cart will remember you.
We use cookies to remember what items
you have put into the shopping cart, so that your shopping
experience is quick and easy.
Yes, though not accepting cookies
will make ordering tedious. If your browser doesn't accept
cookies you will have to complete the order process each time
you enter an item into the shopping basket. This means you
will have to fill out your shipping and purchase information
each time you add an item to the shopping cart and then start
over from scratch with the next item you add. Most browsers
can be configured to accept or refuse cookies.
A cookie can only be read by the site
domain that created it. No one can snoop through all your
cookies and find out information about you.
No. Viruses are carried by executable
files. Since cookies are text only, which cannot contain executable
files, they cannot carry viruses.
Yes, you can. It is common for people
to set their browsers to alert them before accepting a cookie.
This way you can pick and choose which ones you want to accept.
The only cookies you need to accept at our site is the cookie
given to you when you are in the shopping cart area.
You can configure your Web browser
so you won't see a dialog box before accepting cookies if
you are using Netscape 3.0 or above, or Microsoft's Internet
