What is a "cookie" and what should I do about cookie warnings? |

A cookie is a tiny packet
of information passed between your browser and a Web site such as
Expedia. Expedia uses cookies to verify your identity and the fact
that you're properly signed in. Each time you make a request to Expedia,
a cookie attaches itself to your message like a name tag. Accepting
the cookie is like writing your name on the name tag; it identifies
the message as yours so that you can continue using the site without
having to sign in again. To use Expedia Travel Agent, it is necessary
to accept cookies. If you would prefer not to receive a warning every
time Expedia sends a cookie to your browser, you can deactivate the
warning message |
