Web browser cookies
Basically, in order to remember User(s), our system will issue a cookie. It’s safe. A cookie is a text-only string of information stored on a User’s hard drive that allows a website to remember who the User is.

These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our website or, in the case of web beacons, opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to understand whether User have come to our website from an online advertisement, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of marketing campaigns.
