Cookies and Web Bugs:
A cookie is a small piece of information that a
web site sends to your computer, which is stored
in a file on your hard drive. The next time you

your cookie file to store a password so that you

In addition, you can set your browser to notify

like a cookie, a web bug can tell us information
such as what kind of browser is being used and
what time of day this page was accessed. Some
web bugs can include information such as your IP
