Use of Cookies

Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, suppose you personalize TMC pages or register with TMC sites or services. In that case, a cookie helps TMC to recall your detailed information on subsequent visits. This simplifies recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same TMC website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the customized TMC features.
