Use of Cookies
A Cookie is a small text file delivered to your computer by website servers. A cookie allows the website to identify your computer (though not necessarily to identify you) and to tell if you have visited a given site before. EHD uses cookies to determine the site from which you came. We also use them to remember your personal preferences as we add additional features.
Cookies do not divulge any information stored on your hard drive and do not execute any commands. Cookies may be removed from your machine anytime by your internet browser program.
