What They Are, Why You Are In Charge
A Cookie is:
A very small text file placed on your hard drive by a Web Page server. It is
essentially your identification card, and cannot be executed as code or deliver
viruses. It is uniquely yours and can only be read by the server that gave it to
you.
A Cookie's Purpose is:
To tell the server that you returned to that Web page.
How a Cookie Helps You:
It saves you time.
If you personalize pages, or register for products or services, a cookie helps
Have14U.Com remember who you are.
Next time you return, we know to show you the information you requested. Or,
when you register for another product or service, all you need to do is type in
your e-mail address and a password. We then fill in any questions you've already
answered. Of course, if you never register or leave personal information with
Have14U.Com, then the server only knows that someone with your cookie has
returned to the Web site. You are in charge of deciding whether we know anything
about you. But the more you tell us about yourself, the more we can help you
find information or products you want.
Remember: you can always edit any personal information you give Have14U.Com by
stopping at the Profile
Center.
How a Cookie Helps Have14U.Com:
It allows us to be more efficient. We can learn what information is important to
our visitors, and what isn't. We can discard Web pages you don't use, and focus
our efforts on information you need.
