A Cookie is:
A very small text file placed on your hard drive by a Web Page
server. It is essentially your identification card, and cannot
be executed as code or deliver viruses. It is uniquely yours
and can only be read by the server that gave it to you.
OpportunityInformer.com is committed to honoring the
privacy of OpportunityInformer.com visitors and users of
OpportunityInformer.com.
- A Cookie's
Purpose is:
To tell the server that you returned to that Web page.
- How a Cookie
Helps You:
It saves you time. If you personalize pages, or register
for products or services, a cookie helps
OpportunityInformer.com remember who you are. Next time
you return, we know to show you the information you
requested. Or, when you register for another product or
service, all you need to do is type in your e-mail address
and a password. We then fill in any questions you've
already answered. Of course, if you never register or
leave personal information with OpportunityInformer.com,
then the server only knows that someone with your cookie
has returned to the Web site. You are in charge of
deciding whether we know anything about you. But the more
you tell us about yourself, the more we can help you find
information or products you want.
- How a Cookie
Helps OpportunityInformer.com:
It allows us to be more efficient. We can learn what
information is important to our visitors, and what isn't.
We can discard Web pages you don't use, and focus our
efforts on information you need.
