outside VoiceYourself.
In accordance with the standard operation of the VoiceYourself

refuse acceptance of cookies, which are pieces of information
that sites transfer to a user's hard drive for record-keeping
purposes during each visit. Cookies, which do not contain any
personally identifying information, are a standard industry technology.
Cookies help readers by saving such information as passwords and
editorial preferences on user hard drives. A cookie cannot pass
on a computer virus, or even capture e-mail address.
• VoiceYourself will limit internal access to user information
to employees responsible for conducting business with our customers.
