Description
To use the shopping cart system and secure on-line ordering on the Labcenter Electronics site, you must have your browser set to accept 'cookies'.
A "cookie" is a small amount of information (typically a few hundred bytes) that is returned as part of a web page and which your web browser saves to your hard disk. Whenever you revisit that website and request either that page or another page in the same location, your browser automatically returns the text to the web server along with the request for the page.
There is some concern that cookies can access and read other areas of your hard drive, or that personal information about you can be read by the web site. It is important to note that the return of a cookie to a website is done by your browser: it is your browser that detects that you are requesting a page for which it has a cookie and it is your browser that sends the cookie along with the request to the web site. Web sites do not themselves have access to your cookies - they cannot check what cookies are on your disk or what is in them.
