drive specifically designated for cookies.
Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your
browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy)
your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it
has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other
sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if
you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the
configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose
to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some
areas of our site will not function as effectively when viewed
by the users.A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from
your hard drive or pass on computer
viruses.
