Cookies: Cookies are small snippets of data passed from a website to your PC as you browse the Internet that can be transferred back to the original site or domain with future requests from your browser. Cookies can be used in a variety of ways, including ways that have privacy implications, such as tracking your previous activities at a particular site. Most browsers allow you to choose not to accept cookies. Choosing to accept cookies, however, enables some online services to work more efficiently or makes the use of services more convenient.
