Notes
- A first-party Web site is a Web
site that you are currently viewing. A third-party Web
site is a Web site other than the one you are currently
viewing. Third-party Web sites usually provide some
content on the Web site you are currently viewing. For
example, many sites use advertising from third-party Web
sites and those third-party Web sites may use cookies.
- Some Web sites require cookies;
therefore, if you select a setting that does not allow
cookies to be saved on your computer, you might not be
able to view certain Web sites.
- When you change your privacy
settings, the changes might not affect cookies that are
already on your computer. If you want to ensure that all
of the cookies on your computer meet your privacy
settings, you should delete all of the existing cookies
on your computer. When you return to Web sites that
previously had saved cookies on your computer, the Web
sites that meet your privacy settings will save cookies
on your computer again. The Web sites that do not meet
your privacy settings will not be allowed to save
cookies on your computer, and might not function
properly. Some Web sites store your member name and
password or other personally identifiable information
about you in a cookie; therefore, if you delete all
cookies, you might need to re-enter this information the
next time you visit the site.
- Your privacy settings only affect
Web sites in the Internet zone. For more information
about zones, click Related Topics.
- You can also specify custom
privacy settings for all Web sites in the Internet zone
or for individual Web sites. For more information, click
Related Topics.
- To import a file containing
custom privacy settings, click Import. To import
a file, it must be located on your computer. You can
download files containing custom privacy settings from
privacy organizations and other Web sites on the
Internet.
