What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small string of text that a website can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your email address. Websites use cookies to enhance the user's visit: cookies can securely store a user's ID and password; personalize home pages; identify which parts of a site have been visited; or keep track of selections in a "shopping cart."

Declining Cookies

It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is being placed — this way, you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept or decline the cookie. If you are just browsing our site, you do not have to accept a cookie and you can still continue browsing the site. However, if you are placing an order on our site, you must accept our cookies because they are essential for transmission security. Accepting a cookie does not affect your ability to decline email offers.

Setting Cookie Preferences

Most web browsers allow you to set preferences with regard to cookies: automatically accept, automatically decline, notify me before accepting, and so on. To find out how to set cookie preferences on your browser, open the browser’s Online Help and search for the word “cookie.”
