file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website 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 website 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
