By gathering and remembering information about your preferences, the web application can tailor its operation to your needs, likes and dislikes. HP uses traffic log cookies to identify what pages are being used and which ones aren't. In this case, HP uses this information only for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. That is the case of many of our support and information-sharing pages and forums. Denial of a traffic log cookie should not prevent you from using one of these sites.
Examples are the Shopping Village and a few product registration sites.
If you deny the cookie, you can still use the site anonymously. The HP Subscription Services site requires enabling cookies to subscribe to the free newsletters offered through this service. HP Subscription Services use cookie technology to assign and place an identifier unique only to you, placed on your computer. When you register for the Subscription Service, it ensures that you are accurately identified and linked with your registration data. Overall, cookies help us give you a better web site to use, by letting us monitor what's working and what isn't through site traffic analysis.
