behaviour and compile aggregate data in order to improve the Site,
target the advertising and assess general effectiveness of such
advertising.
Cookies do not attach to Your system and damage Your files. If You do not want information collected through the use of Cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows You to deny or accept the Cookie feature.
