Free Web Hosting

A cookie is a file created by an Internet site to store information on your
computer, such as your preferences when visiting that site. When you visit a site
that uses cookies, the site might ask Firefox to place one or more cookies
on your hard disk.


Later, when you return to the site, Firefox sends back the cookies that
belong to the site. This allows the site to present you with information customized
to fit your needs.


Cookies can also store personally identifiable information. Personally identifiable
information is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as
your name, e-mail address, home or work address, or telephone number. However, a
web site only has access to the personal information that you provide. For
example, a web site cannot determine your e-mail address unless you provide it. Also,
a web site cannot gain access to other information on your computer.


When you use the default cookie settings, this activity is invisible to you,
and you won't know when a web site is setting a cookie or when Firefox
is sending a web site its cookie. However, you can set your cookies
optionspreferences so that you will be asked before a cookie is set. You can also
restrict the lifetime of cookies to your current Firefox session.
