Cookies are another big misunderstood Web phenomenon.
Cookies are simply a way of a Web site remembering who you are to be able to offer you custom configurations to that Web site. Their use is very similar to configuration files used transparently by most of the software on your computer in Windows. MHN optionally uses cookies for configuring the discussion forum software to your tastes. As you can probably tell by now, MHN respects the rights of users to their online privacy. MHN has never required any type of registration process to access our resources, which have always been available without charge.
