Each Website can dispatch its own cookie for your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to shield your privacy) your browser only allows a website to access the cookies it's previously sent to you, not the cookies delivered to you by other websites. Browsers are often set to agree to cookies. Nevertheless, if you would prefer not to acquire cookies, you could adjust the configuration of your browser to deny cookies. If you choose to have your browser turn down cookies, it is possible that some regions of our website will not operate as effectively when visited by the end users.
