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
