Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your

sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive
cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser
