What Are

anonymous unique identifier. 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 users.
A

computer viruses.
