A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a web site's
computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each web site can send its own cookies to your browser if your browser's preferences
allow it, but (to protect your privacy) most browsers only permit a web site to access the cookies that the same web site has already
sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
NewspaperDirect may set and access our own cookies on your computer. NewspaperDirect may use cookies to identify you as a repeat visitor
or customer of the website, to maintain session information for logged in users, and to track usage trends and patterns in order to better
