Cookies
“Cookies” are small amounts of data that a web site can send to a web
browser on a visitor’s computer. The cookie is stored on a visitor’s
computer. A cookie may enable the site holder to track how a visitor navigates through
its site and the areas in which they show interest. This is similar to a traffic
report: it tracks trends and behaviors, but does not identify individuals. A cookie
may also be used to authentic the user and the machine accessing the site. Information
gathered from using cookies may include date and time of visits, pages viewed, time
spent at the site, the site visited just before and just after the iBill site, or
general information about the machine used to access the site.
Types of Cookies
Cookies can be set to expire:
- on a specified date
- after a specific period of time
- when a transaction has been completed
- or when a user turns off his/her browser.
A cookie that is erased from memory when a visitor’s browser closes is called
a “session” cookie. Cookies that expire based on a time set by the Web
server are called “persistent” cookies.
Persistent cookies may be used in some cases, for example, to authenticate or otherwise
recognize when a visitor returns to a web site. The web browser will send the cookie
information from the initial visit back to the web site. This is useful to the visitor
if he or she has established a password at a particular web site and wants to be
identified by that site to perform a function or transaction.
To browse anonymously, you may set your browser to disable cookies or delete cookies.
See Refusing Cookies below. Please note that disabling cookies for some services
will impact ability to use that service.
