A cookie is a small text file that we transfer to your device, to identify a user's device and to remember things about your visit, such as your preferences or a user name and password.  Information contained in a cookie may be linked to your personal information, such as your user ID, for purposes such as improving the quality of our Service, tailoring recommendations to your interests, and making our Services easier to use.  You can disable cookies at any time, although you may not be able to access or use features of the Service.
