Cookies
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. A cookie's purpose is to tell the server that you returned to that web page. A cookie saves you time. If you personalize pages, or register for products or services, a cookie helps VeriSign remember who you are. Next time you return, we know to show you the information you requested. Of course, if you never register or leave personal information with VeriSign, 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.
You can control which cookies you accept. You can order your browser to accept all cookies or to alert you every time a cookie is offered. Then you can decide whether to accept one or not. You may
view all the information that VeriSign has stored inside your cookies or you may opt to
delete your cookies. Choosing the latter will remove all personal information from your computer that VeriSign has recorded - this step is not reversible.
