Various sites on the internet use cookies to record
information such as shopping carts, whether you've been there before, and so forth. To

a shopping cart to set a cookie to remember what you've marked that you want to buy, they
may use "JoesCart=MB1450, Cyrix200" so that they can remember what you have in
your cart. In order to read the cookie, they have to read the "JoesCart" item
specifically. For your convenience we've provided these utilities to restrict cookies from
your browser. We don't condone them, but if you wish to use them for whatever reason, here
