One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a Web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of delivering relevant content, eases site navigation, and so on. When you return to the Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the site's features that you customized. Cookies may also be used to measure user traffic such as browsing patterns and user visits.

If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to use interactive features of this or other Web sites that depend on cookies.
