Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize The School of St Jude pages, or register with The School of St Jude site or services, a cookie helps The School of St Jude to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same The School of St Jude website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the The School of St Jude features that you customized.
