Websites that require you to sign up with personal information collect and use that information according to their own privacy statements. We DO NOT collect personal information by this means and by continuing to use this website you are free of that fear. This web site does however contain links to other web sites. They are provided for your convenience, but we do not review, control, or monitor the privacy practices of web sites operated by others. We are not responsible for the performance of web sites operated by others or for your dealings with them.

It is not a program but it is stored on your computer's hard drive. It cannot access the hard drive, so it cannot read other information saved on the hard drive, or get your personal information (e-mail address etc). Other cookies follow if on other sites you want to login with personal information to purchase something, go on a mailing list or provide information to the authorities etc.
