| When your computer completes a request for a web page, the connection goes away. When you go to the next web page, even if you are on the same website, you are not recognized as the same person. |
| One solution to this identity problem is to put a small file on your hard drive that uniquely identifies you. This tiny harmless file is called a cookie. |
| In the course of delivering the web page to your browser, a third party, unknown to you, may place or recognize a unique cookie on your computer. |
| This may be used to track your movements and habits as you move around the Internet. |
| That would be a serious and sureptitious invasion of your privacy!!! |
| Some browsers allow you to turn off third party cookies and we recommend that you do this. |
