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
