Cookie Some websites
store information in a
small text file, called a
cookie, that is saved on
your handheld. A cookie
usually stores
information about you
and your preferences for
that website. A site can
use this information to
customize the pages you
see the next time you
visit. Allowing a website
to create a cookie does
not give the site access to
the rest of your handheld.
A cookie stores only the
information you provide
while visiting the website.
