How to Set Cookies in McAfee
Cookies are tiny bits of information sent from a website to your browser so that the site can store the information and read it back later. Cookies allow browsers to remember website settings and user names. They monitor the types of things you like to buy by keeping track of what ads you click on. Internet browsers typically allow you to block or accept cookies, but McAfee introduced a new way to handle cookies with the release of McAfee Privacy Protection, a software program that maintains you and your family's Internet privacy. You can edit the program's cookie blocker simply by clicking a few buttons.
