6.1.1 Tracking of your Internet use

When you visit some Web sites, the Web server sends a small piece of information, called a cookie, to your Web browser so it can remember who you are.

The information stored in a cookie file can be used:

• to store the password and user ID you submitted for the site
• to remember the options you have selected at the site such as your choice of default entry page
• to track your movements at the site.

If you have difficulty accessing some library databases, check the Library's access troubleshooting webpage, as it may be necessary to reset your browser settings.
