Why
do I need to accept cookies to use this shop?
|
|

What
are cookies?
|
A
'cookie' is a small amount of information that a web site copies to
your hard disk. A cookie can help a web site identify you the next
time you visit. For instance, if you shop for books online, the bookstore's
web site might use a cookie to store information about your favorite
subjects, and later use that information to recommend particular books.
Cookies are also used in CGI based shops (like this shop).
|
|
Only
the information that you provide, or the choices you make while visiting
a web site, can be stored in a cookie.
|
|
For example, the
site cannot determine your e-mail name unless you choose to type it.
Allowing a web site to create a cookie does not give that or any other
site access to the rest of your computer, and only the site that created
the cookie can read it.
