Cookies

A cookie is a small text file generated by a Web site’s server and placed on a user’s hard drive. Cookies enable the site and your browser to interact in such a way that the site is able to present you with the most appropriate options and to customize services to your interests, based on your previous use of the Web site. For example, a cookie can be used to store registration information in an area of the site so that you do not need to re-enter it on subsequent visits to that area.

Because the early use of cookies to track users’ navigational habits were not disclosed to users, their use has raised privacy concerns. However, most Web sites now use cookies to improve your navigational experiences and save you time. Greater Phoenix Convention and Visitors Bureau may use cookies to store a user’s individual preferences and system parameters.
