A cookie is a small amount of information that is stored on your computer by a website. Only the website that created the cookie knows how to access it, so the information can't be used by any other website. At this time, cookies are considered to be reasonably safe.
Our store uses a cookie to remember your user name and password so you don't have to type them each time you log in. Windows will also remember your user name and password for you, so you just type the first few characters of your user name and Windows fills in the rest.
You can choose to let our store place a cookie on your computer or just let Windows remember your user name and password.
