However, at some point in the future it is likely that we may have to start doing so in order to provide advertisers with more exact numbers of visitors. The reason for this is that without a ''cookie'' my web server can only estimate when one visitor has left Literary Walkette and another has arrived - 'cookie's allow for the collection of more accurate record keeping and advertisers require, hits, hits, hits.. If Literary Walkette does use a 'cookie' it would be the simplest form of 'cookie' designed to track only the number of visitors arriving at and leaving Literary Walkette. Such a 'cookie' could not and would not collect any personal information about you because you have not provided any for the 'cookie' to store! Most third party advertisers at Literary Walkette do use 'cookie's to track visitors. To obtain information on these you would have to contact the individual advertisers. *'cookie's are small pieces of data that are sent by the website and stored on your computer - usually in a folder called 'cookie's ! 'cookie's allow the website to personalize the experience for the individual visitor. For example if a website greets you by name it is because: 1.) you provided your name on a previous visit and 2.) you have one or more 'cookie's stored on your computer from that website. 'cookie's 'remember information about your previous visits to the site. This allows sites to recommend particular information to you and even tell you what's new since you last visited. They are also useful for remembering user names and passwords, or for offering 'hints' when you forget your password! 'cookie's contain only information that visitors volunteer, and they do not have the capability of infiltrating a user's hard drive and sneaking away with personal information. If you are concerned about 'cookie's you will usually find them stored in the 'Windows' folder of your hard drive in a sub folder called 'cookie's . By using Windows Explorer you can open this folder and delete some or all of these 'cookie's at any time.
