This + information may include (but is not limited to) your operating environment, + your Internet address, and the page you're coming from.</p> + +<h3>Operating Environment</h3> + +<p>The site is told something about your operating environment, such as your + browser type and operating system. This helps the site present the page in + the best way for your screen. For example, the site might learn that you use + the French version of Mozilla 1.2 on a Windows 2000 computer.</p> + +<h3 id="internet_address">Internet Address</h3> + +<p>Your browser must tell the site your Internet address (also known as the + Internet Protocol, or IP address) so the site knows where to send the page + you are requesting. The site can't present the page you want to see + unless it knows your IP address.</p> + +<p>Your IP address can be either temporary or fixed (static).</p> + +<p>If you connect to the Internet through a standard modem that's attached + to your phone line, then your Internet service provider (ISP) may assign you + a temporary IP address each time you log on. You use the temporary IP address + for the duration of your Internet session—for example, until you sign + off or hang up your dial-up connection, or otherwise end your computer's + live connection with the Internet. Each ISP has many IP addresses, and they + assign the addresses at random to users.</p> + +<p>If you have DSL, a cable modem, or a fiber-optic connection, you may have a + fixed IP address that you use every time you connect.</p> + +<p>Your IP address is not the same as your email address.</p> + +<h3>Referring Page</h3> + +<p>The site is also told which page you were reading when you clicked a link to + see one of the site's pages. This allows the site to know which site + referred you. Or, as you traverse the site, it allows the site to know which + of its pages you came from.</p> + +<p>[<a href="#privacy_on_the_internet">Return to beginning of section</a>]</p> + +<h2 id="what_are_cookies_and_how_do_they_work">What Are Cookies, and How Do + They Work?</h2> + +<p>A cookie is a small bit of information used by some web sites. When you + visit a site that uses cookies, the site might ask your browser to place one + or more cookies on your hard disk.</p> + +<p>Later, when you return to the site, your browser sends back the cookies that + belong to the site.</p> + +<p>When you are using the default cookie settings, this activity is invisible + to you, and you won't know when a site is setting a cookie or when your + browser is sending a web site's cookie back. However, you can set your + preferences so that you will be asked before a cookie is set. For information + on how to do this, see + <a href="using_priv_help.xhtml#cookies">Privacy & Security Preferences - + Cookies</a>.</p> + +<h3>How Do Sites Use Cookie Information?</h3> + +<p>Cookies allow a site to know something about your previous visits. For + example, if you typically search for local weather or purchase books at a web + site, the site may use cookies to remember what city you live in or what + authors you like, so it can make your next visit easier and more useful.</p> + +<p>Some websites publish privacy policies that describe how they use the + information they gather.</p> + +<h3 id="what_are_third-party_cookies">What Are Third-Party Cookies?</h3> + +<p>If your browser stores a site's cookie, it will return the cookie only + to that particular site. Your browser will not provide one site with cookies + set by another. Since a web site can only receive its own cookies, it can + learn about your activities while you are at that site but not your + activities in general while surfing the Web.</p> + +<p>But sometimes a web site displays content that is hosted on another web + site. That content can be anything from an image to text or an advertisement. + The other web site that hosts such elements also has the ability to store a + cookie in your browser, even though you don't visit the site directly. +</p> + +<p>Cookies that are stored by a site other than the one you are visiting are + called <strong>third-party cookies</strong> or <strong>foreign + cookies</strong>. Web sites sometimes use third-party cookies with + <strong>transparent GIFs</strong>, which are special images that help sites + count users, track email responses, learn more about how visitors use the + site, or customize your browsing experience. (Transparent GIFs are also known + as web beacons or web bugs.)</p> + +<p>If you want, you can adjust your cookie preferences so that sites can store + ordinary cookies but not third-party ones.</p> + +<p>[<a href="#privacy_on_the_internet">Return to beginning of section</a>]</p> + +<h2 id="how_can_i_control_web_pages_in_email_messages">How Can I Control Web + Pages in Email Messages?</h2> + +<p>You can disable cookies, images, JavaScript, and plugins completely for + web pages that are received as part of email messages.</p> + +<p>While it may be convenient to enable some or all of these capabilities when + you're browsing the web, they may not be necessary in single web pages + sent as attachments to messages.</p> + +<p>For information on enabling or disabling cookies, images, JavaScript, and + plugins in email messages, see the following sections:</p> + +<ul> + <li><a href="using_priv_help.xhtml#cookies">Privacy & Security + Preferences - Cookies</a></li> + <li><a href="mail_help.xhtml#message_display">Mail & Newsgroups + Preferences - Message Display</a></li> + <li><a href="cs_nav_prefs_advanced.xhtml#scripts_and_plugins">Advanced + Preferences - Scripts & Plugins</a></li> +</ul> + +<p>[<a href="#privacy_on_the_internet">Return to beginning of section</a>]</p> + +<h2 id="how_can_i_make_sure_unauthorized_people_dont_use_information_about_me">How + Can I Make Sure Unauthorized People Don't Use Information About Me?</h2> + +<p>The best way to keep your information private is to read the privacy + policies for the web sites you visit and the Internet services you use, and + to be cautious about giving out your personal information online.</p> + +<p>The Internet is a public network.
