What are Cookies? Why are They Being Used?
A cookie is a text file on your computer, that stores information about your browser, security requirements,
and the images you see on Index Stock Imagery. As you move through this site, various actions, such as saving a User Name and Password,
or holding images for order will attach a "cookie". This information is held within your machine and is
communicated to our server only when you visit this site. Its only purpose is to keep track of your image
requests on the Index Stock Imagery site so that you can receive the pictures you need in the most efficient manner possible.
Cookies only contain information that the server computer "knew" in the first place, and can only be read
by the serving domain that placed them. For instance, Amazon.com utilizes cookies, but Index Stock Imagery’s servers
can't read their contents nor can Amazon.com’s servers read ours. Cookies are an essential part of how the
Internet works today, and allow server computers to recognize your computer's browser when you return. If you
have ever gone to a Web page that automatically provides personalized content without you having to "sign in,
" such as your own stock portfolio, this is almost certainly being accomplished with a cookie. Since cookies
are only text files, they cannot "run" on your computer and have no ability to search your computer for other
information, or transmit it to anyone.
