What are cookies and why must I accept them on your site?
A cookie is a small piece of information (text file) that's sent to your
browser - along with an HTML page - when you access some Web sites. When a
cookie arrives at your browser, it generally is saved on your hard drive or in
your computer's memory. When you return to that site later, some stored
information is sent back to the site's Web server, along with your request. A
cookie is also a digital "ID tag." It is uniquely yours and can only be read by
the server that gave it to you. It can not read any other part of your files,
nor can it be used to send viruses.
This Web site will use Cookies to:
1. Authenticate valid accounts and grant access to the Application Center.
2. Store your preferences in a cookie so that we can recognize them and
personalize the site for you.
3. Track and analyze usage and volume statistical information.
How will cookies enhance the web site?
By using cookies, our server will know your preferences allowing us to offer
you more personalization. You will be able to return to the site with the same
settings you chose on your previous visit, reducing the need to reset your
preferences.
What if I turn cookies off?
You will not be able to log on to your account.
How do I enable cookies on my browser?
You can order your browser to accept all cookies or you may be able to set
your browser to alert you every time a cookie is offered. Then, your browser
will allow you to decide whether to accept them automatically or ask you to
grant permission in each instance.
