The shopping cart works hand in hand with your browser. You see something that you want, put a quantity in the blank box to the right of the item's price, then click add. Your browser, with our shopping cart software, will place a small piece of data called a cookie on your computer. It keeps track of what you added to your shopping cart until you are ready to check out. Cookies CAN be bad.
Cookies can also be good.
It all depends on how they are written. Com both hate spam, internet tracking, and all other sorts of dirty deeds that have come to be associated with cookies. So, when we baked our cookie, we made sure that none of the bad stuff went into it. The only thing that our cookie contains are the things you ordered. Once you check out, or a certain time limit passes, the cookie crumbles and goes away.
