| What exactly are
cookies? Are cookies a security risk? Why do you use them? |
|
Cookies are small bits of data that are stored in a secure
"container" on your web browser. Cookies cannot access your system or data, or retrieve or send information about your computer system because cookies are not
"programs." Secure "session cookies" are the safest and are the preferred way to keep your shopping basket and account reliably separated
from others while you are shopping, and that is why all major online stores use them. In fact, cookies are far superior in terms of safety than the alternative, which
is to add an unencrypted session id to every url, where it might be intercepted by others. PriceGems.com is a P3P Compliant web site committed to protecting your privacy. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.
