What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small file stored on your computer or mobile device that allow us to separate you from the millions of other people on the Internet.

Of course, if you independently provide us with other information such as your name and IP address, we may be able to associate the information in a cookie with that other information and thereby identify you.
