What are cookies?

Cookies are just bits of text that web sites pass to your browser to store, either in memory until you close your browser (session cookies), or for a specified length of time on your hard drive.

The primary reason we are require cookies is because our new login system requires them. This allows our website to "recognize" you based on information you've previously provided. Feel free to only enable "session" cookies, this is the least that is required in order to use our website, and the cookies will only exist in your browser's memory until you close the browser. Nothing would be stored permanently on your hard drive.

The primary thing we'd like to make clear about cookies is that they can only contain information that you have already provided! They cannot be used by websites to somehow grab information from your system that you have not already shared. If you have not shared your email address or name with a website, enabling cookies is NOT going to give them this information.

To enable cookies, follow the instructions below for the browser version you are using. Alternatively, for further instructions on how to change your cookies settings, please use your browser's HELP documentation to make the appropriate changes.
