A cookie is a small amount of information that a web site copies onto your hard drive. MMS uses cookies to improve performance by remembering that you are logged in when you go from page to page. if the cookie cannot be set correctly, then MMS cannot determine whether you are logged in and a new session will be created for each page you visit. this slows the system down. therefore, you must accept the MMS cookie to use the system.
What gets Stored in a Cookie?
MMS only stores a session ID in the cookie, no other information is captured.
in general, only the information that you provide, or the choices you make while visiting a web site, can be stored in a cookie. for example, the site cannot determine your email name unless you choose to type it. Allowing a web site to create a cookie does not give that or any other site access to the rest of your computer, and only the site that created the cookie can read it.
