When you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your computer
for permission to store this file in a part of your hard 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

data from your hard drive or pass on computer
viruses.
