Does the orangefiremarshal.com website require me to accept cookies?

Visitors to the orangefiremarshal.com website can access the website without accepting cookies.

What is a cookie?

There are two general types of cookies that websites make use of; Session cookies and Persistent cookies. Session cookies are these cookies that are created by a website that exists only as long as your visit to that website. They are not stored permanently on your computer. Persistent cookies are those cookies stored on your computer from a website for some period of time and are used when you return to that site in the future.

What exactly does a cookie do?

A cookie provides a way for a website to keep track of a user's internet browsing patterns and preferences. Cookies contain a range of website addresses for which they are valid. When a user's web browser encounters those addresses again, it sends those specific cookies to the Web server. For example, if a user's specific preferences were stored as a cookie, it would save that person from typing in the same information all over again when accessing that service for the second and subsequent times.

What options do I have with respect to cookies?

You can have your browser disable cookies or prompt you before accepting a cookie. Look for the cookie options in your browser under the "Options" or "Preferences" menu.
