What About Cookies? |
|
| "Cookies" are alphanumeric identifiers that are sent to your computer's hard drive through your web browser to enable systems to recognize your browser. These cookies help us identify return visitor volume but do not store any personal information about the user. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies completely. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of New York Mint's special features. Therefore, we recommend that you leave them turned on. |
