Many Internet users are concerned with maintaining their privacy as they surf the web.
Privacy can be enhanced by disallowing 'cookies'. Cookies are small bits of information, supplied by the website you are visiting, that are stored on your computer's hard drive. They are then read by the host computer in subsequent visits to the site. While most sites can be viewed fine with cookies disallowed, some sites can provide more value when you allow cookies. If you are using Netscape Navigator, you can customize your 'cookie' settings by selecting 'preferences' from the 'edit' menu on your toolbar.
